This work investigates the possibility of using fly ash (FA) and Vietnam residual rice husk ash (RHA) in producing unfired building bricks with applying densified mixture design algorithm (DMDA) method. In this research, little amount of cement was added into the mixtures as binder substitution. Unground rice husk ash (URHA), an agricultural by-product, was used as partial fine aggregate replacement (10% and 30%) in the mixtures. The solid bricks of 220×105×60 mm in size were prepared in this study. The hardened properties of the bricks were investigated including compressive strength, flexural strength and water absorption according to corresponding Vietnamese standards. Forming pressure of 35 MPa was applied to form the solid bricks in the mold. The test results show that all brick specimens obtained good mechanical properties, which were well conformed to Vietnamese standard. Compressive strength and flexural strength of the bricks were respectively in range of 13.81–22.06 MPa and 2.25–3.47 MPa. It was definitely proved many potential applications of FA and RHA in the production of unfired building bricks.

Now days, the waste rice husk from rice mill, marble powder from tile industry and fly ash from steam power plant are necessary to utilize as partial replacement of cement for concrete production. Large scale production of cement required consumption of raw materials and energy as well as emissions to air which posse’s environmental threat in various areas of country. Apart from the environmental threat, there still exists the problem of shortage in many areas. Therefore, substitute material for concrete needs to be considered. The paper aims to analyze the compressive strength of concrete cubes and flexural strength of concrete beams made from partially replaced cement, sand, and coarse aggregate. This research study adopted in laboratory on 48 total specimens of grade M25 concrete cubes of size 150x150x150mm and concrte beams of size 100x100x500mm were casted. Out of the 48 concrete specimens cast, 6 each were made out 10%, 20%, and 30 % replacement of fly ash, rice husk ash and marble powder to cement in concrete. It was found that the compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete made from the mixture of 20 % partially replaced cement, sand and coarse aggregate was similar than the concrete made from without replaced cement , sand and coarse aggregate.

Rice husk ash (RHA) is used as a replacement to cement to produce mortar. The effect of 5, 10, and 15wt% addition to the density and compressive strength of mortar is investigated. It was found that with the increasing addition of RHA causes the decrease of compressive strength and density of mortars. Compressive strength of mortar drops with addition of RHA, from a value of 42 MPa of no RHA addition, to 24 MPa of 15wt% RHA addition. Reduction in compression strength may be due to the decrease in density, which arises from porous RHA. This is more dominant in mortar made from addition of RHA without prior acid treated. Carbon residue and impurity in RHA further reduce the compressive strength of mortar. In addition, this research validate the use of a more environmentally friendly citric acid for partially removal of oxide impurities prior to burning the rice husk.

In this paper, stress-strain behaviour of sand-clay mixture stabilised with different cement and rice husk ash percentages, and reinforced with different polypropylene fibre lengths are evaluated. Mixtures are widely used in road construction for soil stabilisation. It is observed that replacing half of the cement percentage (in high cement contents) with rice husk ash will result in a higher unconfined compressive strength. In addition, the presence of 6 mm polypropylene fibres will help to increase the unconfined compressive strength of stabilised samples, while larger fibres cause reverse behaviour. In addition, introducing a new index for assessing the effect of curing days. Curing Improvement Index it is obtained that larger fibres show higher Curing Improvement Index values. Results gained for the effects of curing days, and fibre lengths are further discussed and interpreted using Scanning Electron Microscopy photos. Based on the conducted Unconfined Compressive Strength, Indirect Tensile Strength, and Flexural Strength tests and using evolutionary polynomial regression modelling, some simple relations for prediction of unconfined compressive strength, indirect tensile strength, and flexural strength of cement-rice husk ash stabilised, and fibre reinforced samples are presented. High coefficients of determination of developed equations with experimental data show the accuracy of proposed relationships. Moreover, using a sensitivity analysis based on Cosine Amplitude Method, cement percentage and the length of polypropylene fibres used to reinforce the stabilised samples are respectively reported as the most and the least effective parameters on the unconfined compressive strength of specimens.

This paper examines and present the findings of the physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing rice husk ash (RHA), and the blend of rice husk ash with calcium carbide waste (RHA-CCW). Concrete cubes, cylindrical and beam specimens containing different percentages of RHA and RHA-CCW by weight of cement (5, 10, 15 and 20 %) were cast. Compressive strength test was carried out after the specimens were cured in water for 7, 14, 28 and 56 days. Test for tensile and flexural strength was carried out after 28 days curing. Initial and final setting time test was carried out on mortar specimens with the same percentage of RHA and RHA-CCW. Bogues model was used to determine the elemental and compound composition of cement when blended with the RHA and RHA-CCW. From the results obtained, the compressive strength of RHA-CCW concrete increases as cement is partially replaced with RHA-CCW content, with the maximum strength attained at 5 % replacement. RHA concrete attains it maximum strength at 10 % replacement. The maximum compressive strength results obtained for both RHA and RHA-CCW concrete were higher than the strength of plain concrete (0 % replacement) by 1.1 % and 14.7 % respectively. Interestingly, results obtained for the tensile strength also shows a similar pattern of strength development with that of compressive strength. The flexural strength properties of concrete was improved upon when RHA-CCW was used in concrete compared to RHA. The results of setting time test for RHA mortar showed a decrease in setting time, while the reverse was the case for RHA-CCW mortar. In conclusion, provided adequate curing is maintained, the used of RHA-CCW gives a better performance in concrete than RHA. However, they both perform better in concrete than the plain, and can be used as additives in concrete production.

Over the last decade, there has been a surge in research into possible cement substitute materials in concrete that are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and socially beneficial. The alternatives include industrial and agricultural wastes, and their potential advantages can be achieved through recycling, repurposing, and renewing processes. With the use of these wastes as additional and replacement materials, significant energy savings and a reduction in cement use can be achieved, which helps to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the environment. Therefore, the use of rice husk ash (RHA) and wheat straw ash (WSA) as ternary cementitious material (TCM) in concrete can help reduce the impact on the environment and minimize the use of Portland cement (PC) in the concrete mixture. This research work is performed on the concrete blended with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of RHA and WSA as TCM in the mixture. However, the purpose of this experimental work is to investigate the influence of RHA and WSA as TCM on the fresh (slump), physical (water absorption and density), and hardened properties (compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength) and drying shrinkage of concrete. In this regard, a total of 240 concrete samples (cylinders, cubes, and beams) were prepared with 1 : 2 : 4 mix proportions at 0.50 water-cement ratio and cured at 7 and 28 days, respectively. Moreover, the workability of green concrete is getting reduced as the quantity of TCM increases in the mixture. Besides, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength are enhanced by 12.65%, 9.40%, and 9.46% at 10% of TCM (5% RHA and 5% WSA) on 28 days consistently. Furthermore, the density and water absorption of concrete are reduced with the increase in the dosages of TCM on 28 days, respectively. In addition, the drying shrinkage is reduced with the increase in the quantity of TCM in concrete.

A waste tyre is an inorganic rubber waste that is difficult to decompose since it has a complex structure. Utilization of waste tyre as a material to improve elastic properties in rigid pavement construction in peat environment has not investigated yet. The rigid pavement in peat environment needs to be impermeable and posses high elastic properties. This paper presents mechanical properties and porosity of concrete incorporating crumb rubber as an additive in concrete mixture with a variation of 10%, 20%, and 30% by fine aggregates volume. Rice husk ash is added as a filler in various percentage (5%, 10%, and 15%) by cement volume in the mixture. Concrete is produced with a target strength of 35 MPa. In this research, the OPC concrete mix is used as a control mix. Mechanical properties taken were the compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and porosity at 7, 14 and 28 days. Results show that crumb rubber and rice husk ash addition increases compressive strength, improves elastic properties, i.e., tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and reduce the porosity of the concrete. It can be concluded that the crumb rubber is potential as an environmentally friendly additive as rigid pavement material in peat environment.

In this study, rice husk ash (RHA) was explored as a strength enhancer for mortars containing waste rubber. The effects of RHA on the flow, mechanical strength, chloride resistance, and capillary absorption of rubber mortar were investigated by substituting up to 20% cement with RHA. The experimental results showed that the incorporation of rubber into mortar could be safely achieved by adding RHA as a cement substitute by up to 20% without compromising the compressive strength of mortar. Moreover, the RHA also exerted positive effects on the enhancement of the chloride resistance as well as the capillary absorption of rubber mortars, for which 15% RHA was found to be the optimal dosage.
