PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CONCRETE INCORPORATING RICE HUSK ASH AS A SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL
Keywords:
Rice Husk Ash, Partial Cement Replacement, Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength, Water Absorption, Pozzolanic Reaction, Durability, Sustainable Construction.Abstract
The study examined the effects on concrete qualities of substituting rice husk ash (RHA) forordinary Portland cement (OPC) at various percentages: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Thecompressive strength, cracking strength, and rate of water absorption were measured at 7, 14, 28,and 56 days after curing in the laboratory studies.
