Suitability of the Rice Husk Ash as a Pozzolanic Material for Cement Replacement in Concrete
Abstract: The optimized RHA (rice husk ash) by controlled burn or grinding has been used as a pozzolanic material in cement and concrete. It provides many benefits, like improved strength and sturdiness properties, and environmental edges associated with the disposal of waste materials and to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Up to now, very little analysis has been done to analyze the utilization of RHA as supplementary material in cement and concrete …
