This study investigated the viability of rice husk ash (RHA) as a sustainable and performance-enhancing partial substitute for cement in concrete. The used RHA, characterized by a novel chemical composition abundant in silicon and aluminum oxides, was incorporated into ordinary concrete at increasing substitution ratios up to 25%. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted to assess the influence o…
What Is Lightweight Concrete? Lightweight concrete is a blend of lightweight coarse aggregates such as shale, clay, or slate, giving it low density. The in-place density (unit weight) of structural lightweight concrete ranges from 1440 to 1840 kg/m3. Principle Of Lightweight Concrete 1. The core principle behind the production of lightweight concrete is the introduction […] The post Lightweight C…
