Experimental Investigation of Bamboo Leaf Ash and Rice Husk Ash as Partial Replacement of Cement in Concrete

Abstract

The study involves varying replacement levels to understand their impact on concrete properties. Through quantitative analysis, the research aims to determine the effects on compressive strength, flexural strength, and durability of concrete mixtures. Additionally, the project explores the economic feasibility of utilizing BLA and RHA by considering cost implications and availability. Environmental aspects are also evaluated to understand the sustainability benefits, including reduced carbon footprint and waste utilization. The outcomes of this investigation aim to provide insights into optimizing concrete mix designs, contributing to sustainable construction practices by harnessing the potential of agricultural waste materials in the construction industry.
