Rice husk ash in structural concrete: influence on strength, durability and sustainability

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this comprehensive review, the utilisation of rice husk ash (RHA) in concrete is examined. The paper discusses various aspects including the properties and composition of RHA, its incorporation in concrete as a partial replacement for cement and its impact on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Furthermore, the review investigates the potential of RHA as a supplementary cementitious material and its influence on cementitious systems. Applications in both structural and non-structural contexts are presented, while also addressing the challenges and limitations associated with the use of RHA. The review concludes by highlighting future perspectives and research opportunities in this area. Overall, this comprehensive review provides valuable insights into the utilisation of RHA in concrete, showcasing its potential for enhancing performance and contributing to sustainability efforts.
