Abstract
This current experimental research work is undertaken to assess the possibility of implementing sustainability by developing concrete mixes by utilising rice husk ash (RHA) and refractory brick waste (RBW) as a supplement to cement and coarse aggregates respectively. To fulfil the objective mentioned earlier, a systematic study comprising of evaluation of impact of RHA and RBW on concrete behaviour has been performed by carrying out different tests of strength and durability. These tests are conducted on specimens of specified mixes designed by varying the RBW as 0, 25%, and 50% and RHA levels as 0%, 10%, 15% and 20% and effects RBW and RHA are computed by comparing their behaviour with corresponding control mixes. The critical analysis of the outcome of experimental results depicts that enhancement of RBW(%) has no substantial impact on various properties of mixes. However, the incorporation of RHA (%) affects concrete behaviour by degrading concrete quality. These outcomes suggest the usage of RBW up to 10% in place of the coarse natural aggregates of concrete and 10% RHA as substitution of cement to make an eco-friendly product for field applications.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
