Concrete is the most widely used construction material worldwide, second only to water in consumption. The demand for high-performance concrete has led to the incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials and chemical admixtures. This study investigates the mechanical and durability properties of multi-component blended concrete incorporating rice husk ash (RHA) as a partial replacement of cement. Laboratory tests were conducted on cubical, cylindrical, and reinforced specimens to evaluate compressive strength, tensile strength, sulphate resistance, and chloride resistance at 7, 14, and 28 days. Results indicate that RHA enhances strength, reduces permeability, and improves durability, making it a sustainable alternative for adverse environments.
KEYWORDS
1. Optimum RHA replacement is 10%, yielding maximum strength and durability. 2. Mechanical properties (compressive and tensile strength) improved significantly. 3. Durability against sulphate and chloride attack enhanced, reducing deterioration risks. 4. RHA utilization promotes sustainability by reducing cement demand and recycling agricultural waste. 5. Multi-component blended concrete with RHA is recommended for chemical industries, marine structures, and sustainable infrastructure projects.
