Utilizing Rice Husk Ash and Crumb Rubber to Evaluate the Characteristics of Concrete

Abstract

 Concrete has been widely employed by  the building industry for a no. of decades. Every  construction, whether large or small, includes concrete,  which is produced worldwide every year using over 2  millions tonnes of cement and over 9 million tonnes of  aggregate. Natural resources are under a lot of stress as a  result, and the ecosystem is also suffering. Cement, which  makes up the majority of concrete, possessing unique  social and environmental effects, as well as considerably  having an impact on concrete users. More than 5% of the  worlds Co2 emissions came from the manufacture of  Portland cement. Therefore, many researchers are looking  for ways to make concrete environmentally friendly as  well as substitute materials for the aggregates used in  concrete mixtures in order to satisfy the growing need for  cement and also reduce its effects on the environment.  Many of the wastes evaluated for use in concrete for  various industries have been shown to be efficient.  Among these wastes, Rice Husk Ash and Crumb Rubber  from recycled tyres have been used to concrete to create  unique concrete with qualities including acoustic (sound  absorption) and Thermal defence, resisting impacts,  increased workability and strength. Additionally, the  practise of employing garbage in concrete addresses  theproblem of safely disposing of the enormous amounts  of waste that are produced each.
