A Review on the Utilization of Rice Husk Ash as Admixture in Concrete
(Daffodil International University, 2024-07-15) Roy, Tithi; Hossain, Fihad
To evaluate the usage of rice husk ash as an additive in a typical setting, the effects of adding RHA to concrete grades 20 and 30 at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%, respectively, are determined. The recovered husk was sun dried, screened, and burned in an incinerator set at 400 degrees Celsius. After cooling and passing through a 425μm screen, the ash wasadded as an additive during mixing. Both grades of concrete were mixed, and both fresh and hardened concrete's characteristics were evaluated. The CS of a cylinder of RHA concrete samples that were curing in water was measured at 7, 14, and 28 days, respectively. The findings demonstrated that, for both concrete classes, the slump of RHAconcrete increases as the percentage of RHA added increases. The addition of 5% and 10% RHA, respectively, increases the cs of samples of both concrete classes cured in water; however, the strength gain was greater with the addition of 5% RHA. 15% addition of RHA lower than others two percent of addition of rice husk ash
