A Building has to be defined is an enclosed structure intended for human occupancy. Constructions work has been seen in most of the countries developing with the increase of material cost in the construction work, there is a need to find more cost which can be affordable to people. In the manufacturing of brunt clay bricks, smoke evolved at a great extent and also toxic gases which can harm an environment. So, as to overcome with all these problems. From previous research observed that light weight bricks of Recycle paper mill residue (RPMR) and rice husk ash (RHA) which composes of Recycle paper mill residue (RPMR) and rice husk ash (RHA) and cement which are more economical and eco-friendly. The use of recycle factory residue and rice husk ash bricks are reduce load of wall on beams and columns makes it a relatively lighter members and reducing the hundreds (or) moments. This project includes analysis and design of multi-stored RC structure (G+3) with light weight bricks by using ETABS, comparison will be done with conventional bricks.

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of rice husk ash (RHA) on the engineering properties of fired-clay brick with the present of 10% sand. Temperature 1200°C is selected as the optimum temperature based on the preliminaries study. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), were carried out to determine the characteristic of raw materials used. Mechanical properties of rice husk ash-clay bricks are determined in terms of compressive strength, porosity and water absorption. The results shows that increase in RHA replacement percentage reduce the compressive strength and linear shrinkage of fired-clay bricks while the porosity and water absorption value increase. From the investigation, we can conclude that the optimum mixing ratio for fired-clay brick containing RHA is 15% because it complied with the minimum requirement for building material in term of strength and water absorption.

This study investigated the strength properties of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) concrete with shredded Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles as coarse aggregate partial replacement. Concrete mix, 1:2:4 was designed for all specimens with w/c of 0.5. Samples were prepared and examined at deferent replacement levels of cement with RHA (5, 10 and 15%) using shredded PET bottles (5, 10 and 15%) as coarse aggregate replacement. Concrete without RHA and shredded PET bottles served as control. A total number of 90 concrete cubes and 20 flexural beams were used to examine the strength properties of produced concrete specimens at 28 days. Results revealed that both compressive and flexural strengths of RHA-concrete decreased as the amount of shredded PET bottles increased. The compressive strengths obtained were 20.65, 17.44, 16.53 and 15.87 N/mm2 while the flexural strengths were 10.49, 6.63, 6.59 and 5.72 N/mm2 for 0, 5, 10 and 15% replacement levels respectively. This class of concrete could be used to produce both plain and reinforced concrete of light weight aggregate.

Light weight concrete (LWC) found very similar properties and constructability with respect to normal concrete (NC). LWC was prepared using red clay (RC), sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and borax with the addition of waste materials like rice husk ash (RHA) and glass powder (GP) in aggregate composition. The compressive strength of NC and LWC found almost similar for seven, fourteen and twenty eight days with the inclusion of RHA and GP as the partial replacement of light weight aggregate in composition. Apparent porosity (AP) of LWC found slightly higher than the NC but the bulk density (BD) is about 13% lower than the NC. SLS (10% of water solution) was used as foaming agent. Borax (10% of water solution) might effect on hydration rate and temperature. The partial incorporation of GP and RHA in LWC lessen the thermal conductivity as compared to NC.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

This paper investigates microstructural and mechanical characteristics of novel AA7075 composites supplemented with agricultural waste, i.e. rice husk ash and poultry waste, i.e. carbonized eggshells. Both these wastes possess important constituents which make them potential reinforcement material for composites, and their utilization also reduces the problem of disposal to a certain extent. AA7075 composites with varying weight percentages of rice husk ash and carbonized eggshells were prepared through stir casting route. The sum of weight percentages of both reinforcements was kept constant at 5 wt.%. Composites were tested for density and different mechanical properties. Prior to these tests, composites were examined through scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques, wherein uniform distribution of reinforcements was observed. Inclusion of light weight reinforcements decreased the density of composites. Among these composites, highest hardness value was shown by composite having 5 wt.% of rice husk ash with 24.47% enhancement over unreinforced AA7075. Maximum tensile strength and compression strength were exhibited by hybrid composite with 3.75 wt.% rice husk ash and 1.25 wt.% carbonized eggshells. This increment is 28.20% and 16%, respectively, over base composition. Impact strength decreased as the weight percentage of CES increased, thereby indicating brittleness in behaviour. Fractography analysis of tensile and impact test specimens was done through scanning electron microscopy to determine failure mode wherein presence of cracks, voids, dimples, debonding, etc. was observed. Hence, these light weight and low cost green AA7075 composites showed improved properties making them as an alternative as well as sustainable material for automotive and aerospace applications.
