This study evaluated the performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams containing bagasse ash. Beams were cast using a mix design of M20 concrete with a water-cement ratio of 0.53. Cement in the mix was partially replaced with 10% bagasse ash. Steel fibers of 1% volume fraction were added. Beams were tested under two-point loading. Test results showed that beams containing steel fibers and bagasse ash had a 35% increase in ultimate load capacity and improved ductility compared to conventional concrete beams without fibers or ash. The addition of steel fibers and bagasse ash improved beam stiffness, energy absorption, and cracking resistance. Therefore, the study demonstrated that steel fiber reinforced concrete with bagasse ash can enhance
