Abstract :

Rice Husk Constitutes 20% Of The 500 Million Tons Of Paddy Produced In The World. India, One Of The Largest Producers Of Sugarcane In The World, Produces 300 Million Tons Per Year. Rice Husk Ash (RHA) And Bagasse Ash (BA) Are Used As Pozzolanic Materials For The Development Of Blended Cements. Very Limited Information Is Available On The Permeability And Corrosion Resistance Characteristics Of RHA Blended Concrete. Few Studies Have Been Reported On The Use Of Bagasse Ash As Pozzolanic Material In Cement Pastes And No Detailed Study For Strength And Durability Properties Of BA Blended Concrete Has Been Made. The Objective Of The Present Investigation Is To Evaluate The RHA And BA As Supplementary Cementitious Materials With Reference To Strength, And Permeability Properties In Blended Cement Concrete And To Identify The Optimal Level Of Replacement Of OPC With RHA Or BA. Boiler Fired Rice Husk And Bagasse Residues Were Collected From The Mills. The Mill Fired Residues Were Further Burnt At 6500C Over A Period Of One Hour And Pulverized Before They Were Used As Cement Replacement Materials. Blended Cements Were Prepared By Replacing OPC With RHA Or BA (5 To 35% By Weight Of Cement) In Dry Condition.
