The present study examines the durability properties of Class 1 (50–75 MPa) high-performance concrete (HPC) blended with rice husk ash (RHA) as a partial replacement of CEM II B-L, 42.5 N. Six HPC mixes were prepared with RHA and used as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% of CEM II alone and properties are compared with control mix having only CEM II. The binders (CEM II and RHA) were investigated for particle size distribution (PSD), specific surface area (SSA), oxide compositions, mineralogical phases, morphology, and functional groups using advanced techniques of laser PSD, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared/attenuated total reflection (FTIR/ATR), respectively, to understand their import on HPC. Durability properties, including water absorption, sorptivity, and chemical attack of the HPC samples, were investigated to realise the effect of RHA on the HPC matrix. The findings revealed that the durability properties of RHA-based HPCs exhibited an acceptable range of values consistent with relevant standards. The findings established that self-produced RHA would be beneficial as a cement replacement in HPC. As the RHA is a cost-effective agro-waste, a scalable product of RHA would be a resource for sustainable technology.

 Concrete is the most extensively used construction material around the world and its properties have been undergoing changes through technological advancements. Varieties of concrete have been developed to enhance the different properties of concrete. An investigation in to the potential use of partial replacement of mineral admixture in high performance concrete (HPC) has carried out. The engineering properties of fresh and hardenedconcrete are obtained by conducting test on slump, vee-bee, compaction factor and compressive strength, flexural strength, spilt tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, in this project partial replacement of cement bymetakaolin and rice husk ash been used for varying replacement of 0+0%, 5+105, 7.5+10%,10+10%,5+12.5%, 10+12.5%, 5+15%, 7.5+15%,  and 10+15%for high strength, workability and also an eco-friendly by less emission of co2. It has been concluded that strength development of concrete blended with metakaolin and rice hush ash was enhanced. It was found that in 7.5% replacement of metakaolin and 12.5% replacement of rice husk ash appear to be the optimum replacement which exhibited more strength. This investigation has proved that the MK and RHA concrete can be used as structural concrete at suitable replacement percentage.

This investigation presents the influence of various types of nanoparticles on the performance of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC). Three nanoparticles from waste materials include nano-crushed glass, nano-metakaolin, nano-rice husk ash were prepared using the milling technique. In addition, nano-silica prepared using chemical method at the laboratory is implemented to compare the performance. Several UHPC mixes incorporating different dosages of nanoparticles up to 5% are prepared and tested. Mechanical properties, durability as well as the microstructure of UHPC mixes have been evaluated in order to study the influence of nanoparticles on the hardened characteristics of UHPC. The experimental results showed that early strength is increased by the incorporation of nanomaterials, as compared to the reference UHPC mix. The incorporation of 3% nano-rice husk ash produced the highest compressive strength at 91 day. Microstructural measurements using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) confirm the role of nanomaterials in densifying the microstructure, reducing calcium hydroxide content as well as producing more C-S-H, which improves the strength and reduces the absorption of UHPC. Nanoparticles prepared from waste materials by the milling technique are comparable to chemically prepared nanosilica in improving mechanical properties, refining the microstructure and reducing the absorption of UHPC.

Strength And Durability

During recent years, the Taiwan government launches issues of green building , sustainable engineering , carbon reduction and etc. , to promote balance construction and environment ecology. One of the most important materials in those engineering issues is cement which is used widely in construction industry. Cement emits 0.85 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) for each ton of cement used in average. This not only causes the waste of energy but also againsts the conception of environmental protection. This research uses the rice husk ash (RHA) which people always regards as the waste material as a pozzolanic material to replace part of cement to make high performance concrete (HPC). Then makes the value analysis and properties investigation for HPC. Based on this research, rice husk (RH) will contain lots of silicon dioxide (SiO2) after burning into RHA. If use RHA to replace part of cement, it can get appropriate properties of compressive strength and durability. More important is that by replacing part of cement, it not only will reduce the emission of CO2 and save money but also reach the goal of global village protection on earth.
