Partial replacement of cement with rice husk and wood ash in concrete
The construction industry's ever-growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective building materials has led to the exploration of alternative products aimed at reducing cement consumption. In this pursuit, two promising candidates have emerged: wood ash (WA) and rice husk ash (RHA). This study investigates the combined utilization of wood ash and rice husk ash as partial replacements for cement in concrete. Wood ash is maintained at a constant 15% while varying percentages of rice husk ash (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) are employed. The primary objective is to assess the impact of this partial cement replacement on the strength properties of concrete. The results obtained from this study provide valuable insights into the feasibility of using wood ash and rice husk ash as sustainable alternatives to traditional cement in concrete production. These findings hold significant potential for the construction industry, offering a path towards greener and more cost-effective construction practices while simultaneously reducing the environmental footprint of building materials.
