Achieving Sustainability By Partial Replacement Of Cement With Rice Husk Ash
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
India is a major rice producing country , and the husk generated during milling is mostly used as a fuel in the boilers for processing paddy, So for every 1000 kgs of paddy milled , about 220 kgs ( 22 % ) of husk is produced , and when this husk is burnt in the boilers , about 55 kgs ( 25 % ) of RHA is generated. This RHA is a great threat to environment causing damage to the land and the surrounding area in which it is dumped. To achieve sustainability, In the present study an attempt was made to partially replace the cement with rice husk ash and compare the strength of concrete thus obtained with conventional concrete. The compressive strength of the concrete with partial replacement of rice husk ash increased with increase in percentage of rice husk ash to some extent.
