Prospective Use of Rice Husk Ash to Produce Concrete in India
In this paper, the author studied the possibilities of
using Rice Husk Ash (RHA) available in India; to produce concrete.
Experiments conducted with RHA obtained from West Bengal, India;
to replace cement partially to produce concrete of grade M10, M15,
M20, M25 and M30. The concrete produced in the laboratory by
replacing cement by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% RHA.
Compressive strength tests carried out to determine the strength of
concrete. Cost analysis and comparison done to show the cost
effectiveness of RHA Concrete. Traditional uses of Rice Husk in
India pointed out and the advantages of using RHA in making
concrete highlighted. Suggestion provided regarding prospective
application of RHA concrete in India; which in turn will definitely
reduce the cost of concrete and environmental friendly due to
utilization of waste and replacement of Cement.
