USE OF RICE HUSK ASH AND STEEL FIBRE CONCRETE IN RURAL ROAD

CONSTRUCTION

Concrete is well known is a heterogeneous mix of cement, water and aggregates. Globally concrete is the backbone for the development of infrastructure, buildings, industrial structures, bridges and highways etc. In today’s situation concrete needs special combinations of performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be always achieved by using conventional constituents and normal mixing. It is weak in tension, has limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Mineral admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, are finely divided siliceous materials and are added to concrete as a partial replacement for cement. The addition of these admixtures also results in significant savings in energy and cost. The detailed experimental investigation is doing to study the effect of partial replacement of cement by Rice husk ash with using Steel fiber in concrete. Thus the present research study includes the experimental investigation of concrete by adding rice husk ash with using steel fiber different proportion in M30 grade of concrete.
