A study on compressive strength and water absorption in cement brick using RHA as part of sand replacement

This study is to investigate the Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as part of cement replacement in cement brick with different percentage. RHA is a waste material that produced after the rice husk has been burned in the paddy factory. By relating to this study, the RHA have the same texture and physical as norma...

There were I 0%, 20%, 30% and 0% as the control mixture. All the samples were only cured under water curing for 7 and 28 days before testing. The water to cement ratio of 0.5 and cement: sand ratio I: 10 were applied to all of the sample mixtures. In accordance to the compressive strength testing, the 20% RHA mixture shows the highest compressive strength compared to other percentage while 0% RHA mixture shows the greatest compressive strength since it is the control sample. By according to the BS 6073-1 (1981), it requires 7 N/mm2 as a minimum compressive strength and the industry required the strength about 5 N/mm2 for the building materials to be used in structural applications.
