The utilization of local waste by-products as a building material has attracted great attention for an environmental sustainability and become a fundamental part of sustainable construction. In this experimental research, the local palm oil industrial waste and agricultural waste are utilized for the green mortar production. To examine the compressive strength and the durability performance of the green mortar mixtures, Palm oil boiler clinker (POBC) was used as a substitution material for natural fine aggregate. An ordinary Portland cement was partially replaced by rice husk ash (RHA) and calcium bentonite (CB) in the proportion of 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight of cement. The compressive strength, water absorption, porosity, durability against sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate solutions, and microstructures of the POBC mortar mixtures were evaluated at the curing age of 7, 28, and 56 days. The experimental results revealed that the compressive strength, the water absorption, the porosity, and the durability characteristic of POBC mortar incorporating rice husk ash and calcium bentonite were improved by long-term curing. Furthermore, the 56-day’s POBC mortar incorporating up to 30% of rice husk ash and 10% of calcium bentonite yielded the superior resistance to sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate attacks.

When properly processed, rice husk ash (RHA) comprises a large amount of SiO2, which exhibits a high pozzolanic activity and acts as a good building filler. In this paper, the effects of rice husk ash content, acid pretreatment, and production regions on the compressive and flexural properties and water absorption of a cement paste were studied. The experimental results showed that the compressive strength of the rice husk ash was the highest with a 10% content level, which was about 16.22% higher than that of the control sample. The rice husk after acid pretreatment displayed a higher strength than that of the sample without the acid treatment, and the rice husk from the Inner Mongolia region indicated a higher strength than that from the Guangdong province. However, the flexural strength of each group was not significantly different from that of the blank control group. The trend observed for the water absorption was similar to that of the compressive strength. The variation in the RHA proportions had the greatest influence on the properties of the paste specimens, followed by the acid pretreatments of the rice husks. The production regions of the rice husks indicated the least influence.

This investigation shows the results on aggressive sulphuric acid on the concrete combined with rice husk ash (RH) when partially replaced for ordinary Portland cement. The husk ash, which mainly contains aluminum ion, silica, iron and calcium oxides, is an industrial waste and poses disposal problems. In this study, the effect of various concentrations (1%, 3%, 5%) of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) on Concrete replaced with various percentages (0%,5%,10%,15% and 20% by weight of cement) of RH is evaluated in-terms of residual compressive strength. The loss of compressive strengths of concrete immersed in various H2SO4 solutions for 7 days 28 days and 60 days indicates that at upto 10% replacement increase in strength was observed after which strengths were decreasing. This increase in strength is attributed to pozzolanic activity of RH.

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.

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of rice husk ash (RHA) on the engineering properties of fired-clay brick with the present of 10% sand. Temperature 1200°C is selected as the optimum temperature based on the preliminaries study. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), were carried out to determine the characteristic of raw materials used. Mechanical properties of rice husk ash-clay bricks are determined in terms of compressive strength, porosity and water absorption. The results shows that increase in RHA replacement percentage reduce the compressive strength and linear shrinkage of fired-clay bricks while the porosity and water absorption value increase. From the investigation, we can conclude that the optimum mixing ratio for fired-clay brick containing RHA is 15% because it complied with the minimum requirement for building material in term of strength and water absorption.

Recently, foamed concrete has become a popular construction material that can be used in wide range of constructions application. Whilst the Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as agro-waste is contain high amount of silicon dioxide. RHA is produced in significant amount every year from agriculture countries. RHA has potential as a material to produce foamed concrete. In this research RHA has been used as a replacement for fine aggregate which used in construction as ordinary concrete material. In this study, foamed concrete with target density 1400, 1600 and 1800 kg/m3 has been produced. The compressive strength of foamed concrete with RHA has been tested. Concrete with Ratio 1:3 of RHA/Sand has higher compressive strength than ratios 3:1 and 2:2 of RHA/sand for every density. XRD and XRF test has been used to determinate chemical composition and crystalline structure of RHA. The result showed that RHA is an amorphous material which amorphous is important thing to pozzolanic process when hydration of cement paste. SEM and EDS test has been conducted to determine microstructure and chemical composition on microstructure of RHA foamed concrete. Amorphous RHA incorporating cement paste produces pozzolanic reaction. It is reduces the porosity and width of interfacial zone in such a way the density is increase.
