Abstract

Rice husk ash is a waste generated by agricultural field than this is used for electricity generation than the byproduct is known as RHA, Fly ash is a waste generated by thermal power plants is as such a big environmental concern. The investigation reported in this paper is carried out to study the effect of RHA - FA based geopolymer composites on mechanical properties of RHA-FA based geopolymer composites, so as to provide an environmentally consistent way of its disposal and reuse. The RHA in geopolymer concrete matrix is replaced from 5 to 40 % by step in steps of 5 %. This provides an environmental friendly method of RHA-FA disposal.
