Rapid increase in construction activities leads to active shortage of conventional construction materials due to various regions. Concrete is most widely used construction material. Cement, sand & granite stone are the constituents of the concrete. Researches were researching for cheaper materials that can be used as substitute for these materials. In this context an experimental study was carr...

Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is natural Pozzolan containing reactive silica and/or aluminum. When the material is mixed with lime in powdered form and in the presence of water, it will set and harden like cement. This work uses Osadebe’s optimization model to optimize the shear modulus of concrete made from RHA. The strengths predicted by the model are in good agreement with their corresponding experime...
