Abstract

This paper conclude the experimental studies on the structural strength characteristics of the brick masonry cement mortar having partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement(OPC) by the Rice Husk Ash. Masonry mortar was proportioned in 0 % to 25 % range with cement replaced by RHA. Using relevant Indian Standards the compressive strength test was conducted on the masonry mortar cubes. The optimum results are found on the replacement of cement by RHA at extent of approximately 15% on 28 days duration of curing.
