This paper emphasizes the effect of Sugar and Jaggery on strength properties of concrete. The experimentation has been carried out for the strength properties of concrete using Sugar and Jaggery as admixtures into the concrete composition. Based on the literature, the main function for usage of Sugar and Jaggery is to extend the initial setting time of concrete. Usually these type of admixtures used in the special cases like big piers and long piles. Three different percentages of admixtures (Sugar and Jaggery) are chosen in the experimentation as 0, 0.05 and 0.10% by weight of cement. Finally it was concluded that workability and compressive strength of concrete when admixtures like Sugar and Jaggery mixing(added) into the concrete composition.This paper gives special importance or value to the effect of sugar on strength of concrete. This experiment determines the effect of admixtures (sugar) on the compressive strength of concrete block.Based on books and literature the main function of sugar to increase the initial setting time of concrete.
