Rice Husk Ash as an Admixture of M30 grade Concrete Exposed to Sulfate Environment
About this article
Abstract
 In the present critique, Rice Husk Ash (RHA) partly replaced with cement in the quotient of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% to fruitage M30 grade Concrete. Concrete cubes divulged to Magnesium Sulfate and Sodium sulfate concentrations of 1%, 3% and 5% for the perpetuation of 28, 60and 90 days.  The Experimental data demonstrate that RHA improved the counteraction to sulfate attack on concrete and can be used as an Admixture, 10% as most favorable replacement quotient of RHA in cement.
