Abstract

Food and Shelter are the two main requirements for surviving in this cosmos. More than 50% of the geographical area of the country is under cultivation. After harvesting the rice crop there is a common practice to set fields on fire. This stubble burning creates havoc causing a large number of health hazards and also affects the soil properties. This method of decomposition of agricultural residue including rice straw and rice husk if replaced with some standard combustion conditions, temperature, and rapid cooling of ash produced, will prove beneficial to the construction industry. This review paper explores the possibility of utilizing these agricultural waste products i.e. Rice Straw Ash (RSA) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a partial replacement of cement in concrete and analyzing the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Research gaps and future scope of this study are also highlighted in this review paper. It has been observed that the physical, chemical, and strength properties of concrete are mostly affected by the pozzolan city of the ashes and compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete increases with increase in replacement level of cement with the agricultural ash up-to certain optimal levels. Various other factors that contribute to the enrichment of the existing properties of the resulting concrete include grinding, fineness and porosity of ashes.
