Development of polymer modified rice husk ash concrete (PMRHAC)

What is it about?

The polymer modification of the concrete has been performed successfully for last more than 85 years. A number of polymer-based admixtures are being used to alter the properties of concrete to be used for repair and rehabilitation of concrete. The initiated research focuses on a new approach of development of polymer-modified concrete with appropriate replacement of cement with rice husk ash (RHA) produced by the incineration of rice husk. This paper presents the optimum possible replacement of cement with rice husk ash by not compromising on mechanical properties of concrete and addition of optimum proportion of re-dispersible polymer powder (RPP).
