Generally Portland cement is used as binding material in concrete which liberates large amount of co2 while manufacturing. Hence there is an urgent need for proper attention and to minimize their impact on the sustainability of our living environment. In this study quarry dust and Rice husk ash were partially replaced for cement material, And adding the polyester fiber to strengthening the rebar. In this investigation marble dust and rice husk ash are used as a replacement for cement in various proportions such as 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% in a total replacement of 30% of cement, Where in each proportion the remaining percentage is filled by the Rice husk ash. Marble dust contains more than 50% of silica content in it. Study of Index property and engineering property were obtained in laboratory. Cube casted along the polyester fiber with aspect ratio 100 is adding as reinforcement agent. Polyester had added as 0.1% .

The objective of this technical paper was to propose the use of optimum partial replacement of cement by pozzolan of high-silica content i.e. nanosilica, silica fume and rice husk ash. Firstly cement hydration, pozzolanic reactions of pozzolan and stoichiometry were reviewed. Then the optimum fractional replacement of cement by pozzolan based on the complete consumption of calcium hydroxide and the strength activity index (SAI) were formulated and proposed. After that the results of a series of tests of cement mortars were shown to verify the proposed concepts. The applicability for the mass concrete production was demonstrated by prediction of mean values of nonnormal distributions from the corresponding specifications.

This paper presents the effects of variability in the chemical and elemental composition of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) sourced from four (4) different locations on Tensile Properties of Concrete. RHA is an agricultural waste gotten from rice mills after removal of rice paddy for food and burnt in open air or under controlled processes. RHA is found to be pozzolanic and can be used to partially replace cement to enhance the strength and quality of concrete. The different sources where RHA was gotten are; Ogoja, Abakaliki, Adani and Adikpo in Nigeria. It is discovered that the pozolanic properties of RHA varies based on their source location. Samples from Ogoja where found to have the highest pozzolanic properties followed by Abakaliki, Adani, and Adikpo, their silica content was found to be 84.55, 76.3, 70.12, 70.11, respectively. RHA was used to replace cement in concrete at 5, 10,15,20,25 and 30%. The compressive strength was determined and the values are as follows; And the compressive strength values at 28 days was found to be in the range of 37-42N/mm2 at 5%RHA, 35-39.5N/mm2 at 10%RHA, 30-34.5N/mm2 at 15%RHA, 27-29N/mm2 at 20%RHA, 22-25.6N/mm2 at 25% RHA and 21-24N/mm2 at 30% RHA compared to the controlled sample with a strength value of 42.64N/mm2. Cylindrical columns concrete of size 100mm diameter by 200mm long were moulded and stored in water for 28 days before testing for tensile splitting strength. The values determined from the split tensile test are as follows; 2.1-3.1N/mm2 at 5%RHA, 2.1-2.5N/mm2 at 10% RHA, 1.8-2.10 N/mm2 at 15% RHA, 1.2-1.7 N/mm2 at 20%RHA, 1.1-1.3 N/mm2 at 25% RHA and 0.62-0.9 N/mm2 at 30% RHA while the results of the controlled sample is 3.1 N/mm2.From the results above it can be deduced that source location influences the chemical properties of RHA strength characteristics of the Concrete with RHA as partial replacement.

Background: Creep in concrete is a long-term deformation under sustained loading. It is influenced by many factors, including constituent materials, environmental conditions, among others. Whenever there is an alteration in the convectional concrete preparation process, the creep characteristics need to be realistically assessed. In the present construction, rice husk ash has been used for partial replacement of cement in concrete production. This is because its properties of both tensile and compressive strength in concrete have been tested and found comparable with plain concrete. However, durability characteristics such as creep, which take place in the long run, have not been realistically assessed. Therefore, it is important to study the creep of rice husk ash concrete, which will further help in the development of a creep prediction model for such concrete for use by design engineers. Objectives: Rice husk ash was used as supplementary cementitious material in concrete, and the creep behavior was studied with the aim of producing a creep prediction model for this concrete. Methods: The cement was replaced with 10% of rice husk ash in concrete with a design strength of 30MPA. Reinforced concrete beams were cast and loaded for flexural creep 35 days after casting. The loading level was 25% of the beam’s strength at the time of loading. The creep observation was done for 60 days. The rice husk used was obtained locally from Mwea irrigation scheme in Kenya. The experiments were carried out in our school laboratory at Jomo Kenyatta university of Agriculture and Technology. Results: The creep strain data of rice husk ash concrete beams was obtained with the highest value of 620 micro strain for 60 days. The results were used to develop a creep prediction model for this concrete. Conclusion: A creep prediction model for rice husk ash concrete has been developed, which can be adopted by engineers for class 30 of concrete containing rice husk ash at a 10% replacement level.

The optimized RHA, by controlled burn or grinding, has been used as a pozzolanic material in cement and concrete. Using it provides several advantages, such as improved strength and durability properties, and environmental benefits related to the disposal of waste materials and to reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Up to now, little research has been done to investigate the use of RHA as supplementary material in cement and concrete production .The main objective of this work is to study the suitability of the rice husk ash as a pozzolanic material for cement replacement in concrete. However it is expected that the use of rice husk ash in concrete improve the strength properties of concrete. Also it is an attempt made to develop the concrete using rice husk ash as a source material for partial replacement of cement, which satisfies the

Utilization of rice husks in Indonesia in general is still very limited. Utilization of silica contained in rice husk ash, which has been used, among others, in the manufacture of sodium silicate. Silica compounds themselves can be used in and manufacturing basic materials for electronic and ceramic equipment, glass, rubber, cosmetic products, and pharmaceuticals. The addition of Mg can increase the silica content (SiO2) in rice husk ash. The best results show an effective Mg ratio of Mg addition to increase silica content is 1: 1. produces the highest amount of silica which is 58.12% of the rice husk ash with a size of 140 mesh

<p>Agricultural waste such as rice straw, rice husk and rice husk ash have not been utilized properly. This waste of agricultural produce can actually be used as an alternative to bionanofiller because it contains an excellent source of silica. The silica content contained in the rice waste when combined with the polymer matrix can produce composites having high thermal and mechanical properties. Characterization of bionanofiller from this rice waste is done by SEM, XRF, FTIR, XRD and particle density. The result of SEM analysis from this rice waste is feasible to be used as filler because it has size 1 μm. Likewise with the results of XRF analysis that rice waste contains a high enough silica component that is 80.6255% - 89.83%. FTIR test results also show that bionanoparticles from rice waste have the same content of silica. In the XRD analysis the best selective gain of rice waste is found in rice husk ash which is characteristic of amorp silica at a range of 2ϴ = 22<br />. The largest density analysis of paddy waste was found in rice husk 0.0419 gr / cm , followed by rice straw by of 0.0417 gr / cm 3 and rice hulk ash 0.0407 g / cm 3</p>
