Department of Civil Engineering: Rice Husk Ash and Metkaolin

This document provides information about a course on advanced concrete technology focusing on rice husk ash and metakaolin. The objectives are to learn about admixtures used in concrete and study the performance of concrete with rice husk ash and metkaolin. Rice husk ash is a pozzolan obtained from calcining rice husks below 780°C and improves the strength and durability of concrete. The document defines high-performance concrete and provides details on the composition, properties and use of rice husk ash and metkaolin as mineral admixtures to enhance concrete properties. Students will learn how to produce uniform, durable concrete to increase the lifespan of structures.

(20CEA616) Advanced Concrete Technology
(Structures)

Rice Husk Ash and


Metkaolin
Course Objectives

• To know what are admixtures materials used in


concrete.

• To study the performance of concrete using rice


husk ash and metkaolin.
Rice husk ash

• Rice husk ash (RHA) is a highly reactive


pozzolan obtained when rice husks are
calcinated below the crystallization
temperature at 780 °C.

• RHA-based concrete has high strength and


high durability performance.
Definition of HPC
• High-performance concrete (HPC)
is concrete that has been designed to be more
durable and, if necessary, stronger than
conventional concrete.

• High-strength concrete is defined as having a


specified compressive strength of 8000 psi (55
MPa) or greater.
Composition of Rice Husk Ash
Rice husk ash consists of the following:
•Cellulose (C5H10O5)
•Lignin (C7H10O3)
•Hemicellulose
•SiO2
•Holocellulose

What students have learnt from
the topic
 The students have learned how to make the
concrete of uniform strength to resist weathering
action and chemical attacks maintaining the
desired engineering properties.

 The students will be able to maintain the quality


of structure at site to increase its life span.
Assignment :-

 What are the factors responsible for the variability of


concrete mix.
