Use of rice husk ash in sandcrete blocks for masonry units
Abstract Different mix proportions of sand, cement and rice husk ash (RHA) were studied for use in sandcrete blocks. Optimum water/(cement+RHA) ratios were determined at different mix proportions. Compressive strengths of various mix proportions at 7, 28 and 60 days were also determined. The optimum water/(cement+RHA) ratio increased with rice husk ash contents. Test results showed that up to 40% RHA could be added as a partial replacement for cement without any significant change in compressive strength at 60 days. Compressive strengths of various mix proportions were compared with British Statutory minimum compressive strengths of bricks for various walls and it was found that sandcrete blocks of 1∶5 mortar mixes with 40% RHA (by weight of cement) could be used in both load and non-load bearing walls.
