Development of High strength Concrete using Rice husk ash and Slag: Hectic industrial activities are envisaged by India and the other developing and under developing countries aiming in this twenty first century, for gigantic improvement in Civil Engineering. India presently is facing problems due to pushing up the cost of construction materials. Already a partial substitution of fly-ash was used for ordinary Portland cement. High strength and high performance concrete are being widely used all over the world. Most of the applications of high strength concrete have been found in high rise buildings, long span bridges etc. The potential of rice husk ash as a cement replacement material is well established .Earlier researches showed an improvement in mechanical properties of high strength concrete with finely ground RHA as a partial cement replacement material. One of the agro-based wastes in our country is rice-husk. Some progress has been made to convert this rice-husk to ash by incineration and use it as a partial substitute replacement for the ordinary portland cement. Rice-husk ash contains 85-95% silica when open burnt and ground to a fineness of 16000Sq-cm/gm. Some investigations were reported on using rice-husk ash concretes and were shown to be good when comparable with concretes with no replacements. Another such mineral admixture is ggbs, confirming to IS12089 which is also a bi-product of iron manufacture industry. Due to its highly cementitious nature, when ground to cement fineness, hydrates like cement. The ground granulated blast furnace slag is a waste product from the iron manufacturing industry, which may be used as partial replacement of cement in concrete due to its inherent cementing properties. This paper presents an experimental study of compressive Split tensile and flexural strength of concrete prepared with Ordinary Portland Cement, partially replaced by Rice husk ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag in different proportions varying from 0% to 25%.Hence a project work is planned to check the suitability of use of RHA and GGBS in developing High strength cement concrete.
