ABSTRACT The importance of concrete in modem society cannot be underestimated. There is no escaping from the impact of concrete on everyday life. Concrete is a composite material which is made of filler and a binder. Typical concrete is a mixture of fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (rock), cement, and water. Nowadays the usage of concrete... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is one of the most active research areas that encompass a number of disciplines including civil engineering and construction materials. Grinded rice husk (GRH) and RHA is an agricultural waste product which is produced in large quantities globally every year. As the rice husk is piling up every day, there is a pressure...
