Self-Compacting Concrete Originally developed in Japan, SCC technology was made possible by the much earlier development of Superplasticisers for concrete. To compare the performance of SCC with Fly Ash 20%, Silica Fume 10%, Rice Husk Ash (5%, 10%, and 15%) as a partial replacement of cement, due to the high increase in construction which has brought a heavy demand for ingredients of concrete s...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract Over the past few decades Road infrastructure in India is developing at a quick pace. A decent pavement is required for the safe, comfortable and prudent development of traffic. The thickness of road relies on geotechnical properties of subgrade so...

This paper addresses the potential use of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a cementitious material in concrete mixes. RHA is produced from the burning of rice husk which is a byproduct of rice milling. The ash content is about 18-22% by weight of the rice husks. Research has shown that concrete made with RHA as a partial cement substitute to levels of 10% to 20% by weight of cement has superior performan...

a mild, efficient and fast method for the oxidation of alcohols and trimethylsilyl, tetrahydropyranyl and methoxymethyl ethers to their corresponding carbonyl compounds using cro3 in the presence of rice husk ash (rha) is reported. all reactions were performed at room temperature in high to excellent yields. a new, efficient and green catalyst, heterogeneous reaction conditions, easy work-up of...

This study conducted an extensive literature review on rice husk ash (RHA), with a focus its particle properties and their effects the fresh, mechanical, durability of concrete when used as partial cement replacement. The pozzolanic property RHA is determined by amorphous silica content, specific surface area, fineness, which can be improved using controlled combustion grinding for use in concr...

This paper reports the results on the use of an innovative inert, based on stabilized fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration as a filler for polypropylene. The starting material, which contains large quantities of leachable Pb and Zn, was stabilized by means of an innovative process using rice husk ash as a waste silica source, together with other fly ashes, such as coal fly ash and fl...

For a developing country like Bangladesh, waste management is an important issue. Since it is a small over-populated country , strict government regulations regarding landfills is essential. Expansion of ceramic industries is considered to be one of the potential sectors for the economic growth of Bangladesh. However, raw material cost per unit production is the prime concern for industrialists...
