 OBJECTIVE :-
 To upgrade expansive soil as a construction material using Rice Husk ash
(RHA) and lime.
 To stabilize soil using waste product.
 To reduce the cost of stabilization.
 To improve sub grade properties.
 To reduce optimum moisture content.
 To dry wet soil quickly.
INTRODUCTION:-

Obtained from burning protecting outer cover of rice husk.

It consist of non crystalline silicon dioxide(SiO2) with high
specific surface and high pozzolanic reactivity.
The RHA can be found as natural materials by products or
industrial wastes.
Chemical properties so fare closer to micro silica, silica fume.
HOW RHA PRODUCE:-

 Chemical compositions of RHA are affected

due to burning process and temperature.

 RHA produced by burning rice husk between

600 to 700ºC temperature for 2 hours
USES OF RHA:-

 RHA can be used in the distinct ways

1.) To create HPC – RHA can be added to cement to increase high

strength concrete.

2.) To create Green Concrete – RHA can be used as an substitute to

reduce amount of cement with higher strength.
ADVANTAGES:-

 Improves compressive strength, flexural strengths and split tensile

strength.
 RHA mixed concrete shows better bond strength as compared to
OPC concrete.
 Permeability of concrete decreases chloride diffusion and chloride
permeation reduced 30% replacement.
 RHA makes a role to increased resistance to chemical.
DISADVANTAGES:-

 Suitable incinerator/furnace as well as grinding method is required

for burning and grinding rice husk in order to obtain good quality
ash.
 Strength of concrete is reduced for larger(beyond 30%)
replacement.
 There is a little transportation problem.
 Unburnt RHA is not suitable for concrete production.
METHODOLOGY:-

 Data collection and deep study about the project.

 Collecting samples from different places.
 Performing various tests.
 Preparing final results.
 Comparing properties with average soil properties.
 Preparing a final report.
CONCLUSION:-

 To study the effect of RHA as substitute for fine aggregate in

concrete mixture.

 The properties of concrete containing RHA had been successfully

studied.

 The use of RHA in civil construction, besides reducing the

environmental polluters factors, may bring several improvements
can bring to concrete characteristics.
