A clay soil, classified as Clay of High plasticity (CH) according to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) was stabilized with cement, Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and promoter. The mineralogy of the clay soil and the morphology of the clay and clay specimens admixed with varied composition of cement, RHA and promoter were evaluated in order to determine effect of the RHA on promoter stabilization of cement based clay soil. The promoter used in this study consists of calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide in the ratio of 1:1. The clay was remolded at standard Proctor compaction energy and the specimens were mixed with 0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0% cement, admixed with 1.0, 2.0, 3.0% RHA each, and 0.3, 0.6, 1.0% promoter each. The molded specimens were cured for 1, 7, 14, 28, 60 and 90days before testing for Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) and consequently the modulus of elasticity. The UCS of specimens without cement increased from 20 kN/m2 for the natural clay soil to 95 kN/m2 on addition of 3% RHA and 1.0% promoter after 28 days of curing, representing 475% increase in the UCS. This increase was confirmed by morphology of the clay soil mixed with RHA and promoter only, which showed presence of calcium silicate hydrate. Addition of 3.0% cement with 3 and 1.0% RHA and promoter respectively, increased the UCS from 220 to 375kN/m2 after 28 days of curing, which was also confirmed by the morphology of the specimens. The highest elastic modulus of 48.3 MPa was observed at specimens containing 3% cement, 3% RHA and 1.0% promoter.

This paper presents an experimental study aimed at assessing the suitability of rice husk ash (RHA) treated black cotton soil as a barrier in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) containment facility. Laboratory tests were conducted on black cotton soil treated with 5, 10 and 15% RHA at moulding water contents of 2 and 4% on both wet and dry sides of optimum moisture content (OMC) using British Standard Heavy (BSH) compactive effort. Index properties, hydraulic conductivity (k), volumetric shrinkage strain (VSS), and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted on all the samples. The results obtained indicated that the soil was classified as A-7-5(18) according to the American Association of States Highway and Transport Officials (AASHTO) classification system and Silt of high plasticity (MH) in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). It was observed that addition of RHA was accompanied with decrease in the plasticity index from 24 to as low as 3%. An improvement in the moisture-density relationship of the soils showed an increase in Maximum Dry Density (MDD) from 1.46 to 1.52 Mg/m3 as well as a decrease from 24.5 to 21.2% in OMC. The increase in RHA contents up to 10% brought about an improvement in the strength of the soil specimens by almost 332.4kN/m2 at 2% on the dry side of OMC. The VSS decreases with increase in RHA content to achieve the minimum shrinkage strain of 4.1% at 5% RHA treatment.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

The evaluation of agro-industrial by-products as alternative construction materials is becoming more significant as the demand for environmentally friendly construction materials increases. In this study, the workability and compressive strength of concrete produced by combining Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) was investigated. Concrete mixes using a fixed content of 15% RHA as replacement for cement and 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% PKS as replacement for crushed granite by volume with the mix ratios of 1:1½:3, 1:2:4 and 1:3:6 were produced. The water-to-cement ratios of 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 were used for the respective mix ratios. Concrete without PKS and RHA served as control mix. The fresh concrete workability was evaluated through slump test. The concrete hardened properties determined were the density and compressive strength. The results indicated that the workability and density of PKSC were lower than control concrete, and they decreased as the PKS content in each mix ratio was increased. The compressive strength of concrete at 90 days decreased from 27.8-13.1 N/mm2, 23.8-8.9 N/mm2and 20.6-7.6 for 1:1½:3, 1:2:4 and 1:3:6, respectively as the substitution level of PKS increased from 0-100%. However, the compressive strength of concrete increased with curing age and the gain in strength of concrete containing RHA and PKSC were higher than the control at the later age. The concrete containing 15% RHA with up to 40% PKS for 1:1½:3 and 20% PKS for 1:2:4 mix ratios satisfied the minimum strength requirements for structural lightweight aggregate concrete (SLWAC) stipulated by the relevant standards. It can be concluded that the addition of 15% RHA is effective in improving the strength properties of PKSC for eco-friendly SLWAC production..

Production of Portland cement causes global warming due to the emission of greenhouse gases to the environment. The need for reducing the amount of cement is necessary from sustainability point of view. Alkali activated and geopolymeric binders are used as alternative to cement. Industrial by-products such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), silica fume, rice husk ash etc. are commonly used for the production of geopolymer concrete. This paper focuses on the development of geopolymer concrete from slag (100% GGBS). Effect of different cementitious materials such as lime, fly ash, metakaolin, rice husk ash, silica fume and dolomite on strength properties of slag (GGBS) based geopolymer concrete are also discussed. It is observed that the addition of dolomite (by-products from rock crushing plants) into slag based geopolymer concrete reduces the setting time, enhances durability and improves rapidly the early age strength of geopolymer concrete. Development of geopolymer concrete with industrial by-products is a solution to the disposal of the industrial wastes. The quick setting concrete thus produced can reduce the cost of construction making it sustainable also.

Soil stability is a significant criterion in the field of development, for soil which needs adequate steadiness, different adjustment strategies can be embraced. The entrenched methods of soil adjustment regularly utilize such establishing operators like cement. Substitution of solidifying substance with commercial or agriculture outcome is profoundly attractive. Rice husk ash is an extremely prospective agriculture dissipates as pozzolanic materials that bring about a prevalent property after joined with lime. Also, coconut fibre is well known for its durability and high resistance and gives well establishing results when combined with lime and rice husk ash. This study worked on the experimental investigation of clayey soil with admixtures like lime, rice husk ash and coconut fibre. This study included the calculation of properties of the soil as consistency limits and strength characteristics. Clay type of soil is used in this study. In view of compaction, expansion of lime, RHA and coconut fibre diminishes the dry density and expands the moisture content. From the perspective of strength characteristics and economical terms, expansion of 6% lime, 8 % RHA and 1 % coconut fibre are prescribed as ideal value for subgrade soil adjustment

Modifying Additive

As a modifying additive in PVC-compositions, silicates produced by means of rice husk processing are of practical interest. Rice husk ash obtained by burning at 350°C, along with synthetic and naturally occurring wollastonite, significantly reduce plasticizer’s migration from the PVC-composition due to their porosity. This is due to the fact that the part of hydroxyl components of the plasticizer EDOS has adsorbed on the surface or retained by the silicates pores. Along with that, Miwoll 10-97 ensures a greater decrease in plasticizer’s migration than synthetic calcium silicate on the base of rice husk ash. When all the researched silicates are modified by the rice husk and naturally occurring wollastonite, heat stability of PVC-compositions grows. This is preconditioned by the alkaline origin of the surface of filling compounds that allows their possible reaction with chlorine hydride released from PVC during thermal decomposition. Synthetic and naturally occurring wollastonite enhance strain-strength properties of PVC-compositions whereas silicates on the case of rice husk reduce these parameters.
