Study on Partial Replacement of Conventional Ingredients of Concrete with Rice Husk Ash, Stone Dust and Rubber Aggregate
Abstract
Concrete is the third most used substance in the world next to water and air. Production of cement consumes very large amounts of natural resources and 0.9 tons of Carbon Dioxide is produced per ton of cement production which causes about 8% of world Carbon Dioxide emissions. To cope with that industrial and agricultural waste are used in making concrete which will serve two purposes, disposal of waste and conservation of natural resources. The properties of partially substituted concrete is observed in this paper. The behavior of green concrete with rice husk ash (RHA), stone dust (SD) and scrapped rubber as a partial substitution of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate was experimentally explored. In this paper the combine effect of RHA, stone dust and rubber aggregate in different proportions in concrete will be seen. It has been observed that with increase in rubber aggregate compressive strength of concrete decreases but along with that if rice husk ash and stone dust also increases then compressive strength of concrete increases.
