The production of rice is significant worldwide; the husk produced is generally used as a combustible material for the preparation of paddies, delivering energy through direct combustion as well as by gasifying. Annually, 7.4 million tons of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is produced and poses an incredible danger to the environment, harming the land and the encompassing zone where it is unloaded. In the transformation of rice husk to ash, the ignition cycle eliminates the natural products, leaving silica-rich remains. These silica-rich remains have proven to have potential to be utilized in concrete as a limited substitution of cement to enhance the concrete compressive strength. Steel fibers’ incorporation increases the concrete tensile strength, balances out concrete samples, and changes their brittle behavior to a more ductile response. In the current study, the influence of various doses of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) used in concrete in the presence and absence of steel fibers and concrete performance has been examined. A total of nine mixes have been designed: one was a control, four were without steel fibers containing only RHA, and the last four mixed RHA with steel fibers from 0.5 to 2%. Tests with 5, 10, 15, and 20% percentages of RHA replacing the concrete have been targeted. Results have been compared with the reference samples and the reasonability of adding Rice Husk Ash to concrete has been studied. From the results, it was noted that about 10% of cement might be replaced with Rice Husk Ash mixed in with steel fibers with almost equal compressive strength. Replacing more than 15% of cement with RHA will produce concrete with a low performance in terms of strength and durability.

This paper describes the experimental investigation carried out to develop the geopolymer concrete based on alkali-activated rice husk ash (RHA) by sodium hydroxide with sodium silicate. Effect on method of curing and concentration of NaOH on compressive strength as well as the optimum mix proportion of geopolymer mortar was investigated. It is possible to achieve compressive strengths of 31 N/mm2and 45 N/mm2, respectively for the 10 M alkali-activated geopolymer mortar after 7 and 28 days of casting when cured for 24 hours at 60°C. Results indicated that the increase in curing period and concentration of alkali activator increased the compressive strength. Durability studies were carried out in acid and sulfate media such as H2SO4, HCl, Na2SO4, and MgSO4environments and found that geopolymer concrete showed very less weight loss when compared to steam-cured mortar specimens. In addition, fluorescent optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies have shown the formation of new peaks and enhanced the polymerization reaction which is responsible for strength development and hence RHA has great potential as a substitute for ordinary Portland cement concrete.

Concrete is brittle and widely used as an artificial construction material with incorporation of cement, water and aggregate in necessary proportions. To overcome the brittle behavior of composites, fibers and admixture are added to the concrete. In this present investigation Polypropylene Fiber is added in varying percentage (0.2%, 0.4%, 0, 6%, 0.8% and 1%) to the weight of cement and constant percentage of Rice Husk Ash (15%) is replaced with cement. The polypropylene fiber reinforced blended concrete tiles of size 300mm x 300mm x 30mm are cast as per the code and tested at 28 days curing period. Flexural strength, Abrasion test, Dimensional quality and water absorption are studied. Among different proportion of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Blended Concrete, the best performance is achieved by the combination of 15% of Rice Husk Ash with 0.6% of Polypropylene Fiber.

Abstract Concrete is the most widely used material throughout the world and innovations continue to be carried out to produce efficient development. Shell charcoal ash and rice husk ash are industrial by-products which have the potential to replace sand for concrete mix, especially in Indragiri Hilir. The research with the title "Effect of Mixture of Rice Husk Ash and Shell Ash Ashes as Substitute for Some Fine Aggregates Against Concrete Compressive Strength" aims to prove the effect of a mixture of shell charcoal ash and husk ash to replace some of the sand to produce maximum compressive strength. Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. This research uses 5 variations of the mixture to the weight of sand, BSA 0 without a substitute mixture, BSA 1 with a mixture of 5% husk ash and 10% shell charcoal, BSA 2 with a mixture of 5% husk ash and 15% charcoal ash, BSA 3 with a mixture of 5% husk ash and 18% charcoal, BSA 4 with a mixture of 10% husk and 10% charcoal, and BSA 5 with a mixture of 13% husk ash and 10% charcoal ash. SNI method is used for the Job Mix Formula (JMF) mixture in this research. The results of the average compressive strength of concrete at 28 days for JMF of 21.05 MPa, BSA 1 of 23.68 MPa, BSA 2 of 22.23 MPa, BSA 3 of 14.39 MPa, BSA 4 of 13.34 MPa , and BSA 5 of 20.14 MPa. The conclusion drawn from the results of the BSA 1 research with a mixture of 5% husk ash and 15% charcoal ash produced the highest average compressive strength of 23.68 MPa.

Main Material

The use of concrete as the main material in the construction does not mean it has no weaknesses. The brittle, low-density concrete properties make it collapse unexpectedly. In this work, a concrete innovation was performed to increase the compressive strength by the addition of rice husk ash as cement substitution that contains 92.31% of SiO2 and by the addition of banana tree bark. The proportion of rice husk ash used was obtained from preliminary tests to determine the proportion of rice husk ash by 5%, 7%, 10%, 12% and 15% of the cement’s weight. The result of the proportion which yielded the optimum concrete compressive strength by 24.4 MPa in the proportion of rice husk ash by 7%, then was made with the same ash content with banana tree bark fiber variation 0%; 1.5%; 2% and 3%. The Result of the test concluded that the addition of banana tree bark fiber can decrease the compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete because it is caused by the fibers that make hard concrete become solid. However, for all proportions of fiber, it still qualifies as the minimum tensile strength to be achieved i.e. 8% of the compressive strength of the plan.

Chapter 3 is based on performance of mortar grouts incorporating rice husk ash (RHA) and fly ash (FA). Detailed experimental work was conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of mortar grout using RHA and FA as partial replacement of cement. This study investigated the compressive strength and durability of mortar grouts in their hardened state. Durability tests such as water absorption, apparent volume of permeable voids, sorptivity, and rapid chloride penetration tests are researched. Detailed results and discussion which focused on mechanical properties as well as durability of hardened state mortar grout are presented. It was confirmed that the inclusion of blended RHA and FA significantly improved the compressive strength of mortar grouts. The durability of mortar grout increased along with a longer curing time. Hence, RHA and FA can partially replace cement in the production of mortar grouts.

Material Utilization

Portland cement is a relatively expensive type of cement when used on constructions requiring simple requirements. Local material utilization using ash fragments of coral reefs and rice husk ash is one of the solutions. The objectives of this study is to determine the value of concrete compressive strength in each variation of cement replacement used were 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%, each variation consists of 70% ash fragment of coral reefs and 30% rice husk ash from the volume of cement used. The cube specimen with a size of (15x15x15) cm as many as 20 specimen were prepared. Concrete mixture according to SNI 03-2834-2000 used 0.5 cement water ratio and 60-100 mm of slump. The result of the compressive strength of concrete variation every percentage increase has increased and decreased from the result of the normal concrete compressive strength of 368.24 kg/cm2. Maximum increase occurred in the concrete compressive strength variation 7.5% of 384.76 kg/cm2 and decreased on the concrete compressive strength variation 10% of 367.40 kg/cm2.
