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 production .The main objective of this work is to check the suitableness of the rice husk ash as a pozzolanic material for cement replacement in concrete. But it's expected that the utilization of rice husk ash in concrete improve the strength properties of concrete. Conjointly it's a shot created to develop the concrete mistreatment rice husk ash as a supply material for partial replacement of cement that satisfies the structural properties of concrete like compressive strength. From the entire experimental work and studies it is concluded that mix M20 with the replacement of 20% is the best combination among all mixes, which gives the maximum compressive strength
