The production of rice is significant worldwide; the husk produced is generally used as a combustible material for the preparation of paddies, delivering energy through direct combustion as well as by gasifying. Annually, 7.4 million tons of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is produced and poses an incredible danger to the environment, harming the land and the encompassing zone where it is unloaded. In the transformation of rice husk to ash, the ignition cycle eliminates the natural products, leaving silica-rich remains. These silica-rich remains have proven to have potential to be utilized in concrete as a limited substitution of cement to enhance the concrete compressive strength. RHA is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative cementitious material. In this experimental study Strength tests such as compressive strength,splitting tensile strength,and flexural strength with 5, 10, 15, and 20% percentages of RHA replacing the cement have been targeted.Based on the experimental results it was noted that RHA 10%-PPC 90% mix combination is having enhanced mechanical properties compared to conventional concrete.
