Abstract – The main objective of this study is to focus on the utilization of the waste produced after the harvesting of the rice i.e. rice husk with addition of glass fiber as the admixture in developing concrete. It is used as pozzolanic material for a long time because it is rich in silica. India being an agro economy, the waste from the harvesting of the rice is produced in huge quantity, after studying its properties it has been found it contains cementious properties. This study is an attempt of utilization of these properties of rice husk in the developing concrete with an aim of utilization of the waste and produced economical alternative for the ingredient of concrete. This study attempts to study the behaviors of the concrete produced by the partial replacement in a varying percentage of (5%, 10%,15%) of the cement with the addition of the admixture in the varying percentage of 1%, 2%, 3%. It is observed for the different percentage variation of the strength is different and after reaching the optimum value over the combination of glass fiber and rice husk there is sudden decrease of the strength whose result are discussed in the work. For the study we have perfomed various test over the different material and the analysis is done on the basis of compressive strength and flexural strength. Keywords: Rice husk, Glass fiber, M20, Mix Design.
1. INTRODUCTION Over the period of time concrete is becoming the man made material with increasing utilization in every field of development. In India being a developing nation the dependence over the concrete has increased. As more dependence leads to more utilization of the natural resource required for the production of the concrete which is directly depleting our natural resources. With that consideration, we will have to find the alternative in the form of ingredients of the concrete. The utilization of the waste from various field such as industries, agriculture etc in the preparation of the concrete either fully or partial is done. This experimental study describing the utilization of the agriculture waste such as rice husk replacing the binder ingredient of the concrete with addition to the admixture as glass fiber in varying percentage of the cement by weight is done.
2. MATERIAL The materials used in this work are broadly classified as base material, filler material, binders and admixtures. Both inert and reactive materials are used for this study. The various materials used in this work are discussed with their properties and with the test results as follows. 2.1 Cement: Ordinary Portland cement of 53 grade was used in this study which was provided by Ambuja Cements Ltd. 2.2 Aggregates: For this experiment combination of the fine aggregate and coarse aggregate are used. The fine aggregate was collected from nearby river which is tributary of beas who is having maximum size of 4.75mm as resulted after sieve analysis whereas the coarse are collected from the nearby crusher having proper grading such that the gravel passing through 20mm sieve IS sieve and retained on 4.75mm sieve. 2.3 Rice husk Rice husk ash used was obtained from rice mill located in Kangra. The Specific gravity of used rice husk ash after the experiment is found to be is 2.2 and bulk density is 105.9kg/m3 RHA which is produced after burning of Rice husk (RH) in the controlled manner. The ash produced after burning posse’s pozzolanic property which is similar to the same required for the production of the cement.
