Abstract

Due to pozzolanic reactivity, Rice Husk Ash is used as a supplementary cementing material in mortar. It has economical and technical advantages to be used in mortar. In this paper partial replacement of cement by the use of RHA in percentage of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight of cement in experiment to find out the optimum water content and maximum dry density of the samples. This research therefore is an investigation of the performance of the brick masonry mortar made of partially replacing OPC with RHA on the structural integrity and properties of RHA mortar.
