Utilization of Rice Husk in Construction of Highway

The potentiality of rice husk as a good source of high technological materials in road construction is the subject of this research. Every year approximately 770 million tons of paddy are produced globally. This gives around 120 million tons of rice husk (RH) and 21 million tons of rice husk ash (RHA) annually. Besides these, it can be utilized in several other applications. The main reason behind this trend is the excessive production of waste like fly ash, plastics, rice husk ash (RHA) which is not only hazards but also creating deposition problems. Using some of these waste materials in construction practice will reduce the problem in a great extent. This paper will let us study how husk waste can be used in construction of roads. Step by step procedure of various tests conducted on the experimental model section of road block. This project will also conclude about how the use of rice husk in road construction increases the strength, flexibility, durability etc. of the road. As rapid growth in population and industrialization is taking over on huge scale, the use of resouces has to be done keeping in need of the future generation some new technologies are made for waste utilization and cost reduction is of primary focus.
