SHRINKAGE OF MORTAR CONTAINING RICE HUSK ASH

Through this work, different amount of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) was employed as a partial replacement of cement with percentages of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5% and 20% in mortar mixes. The physical properties of control cement mortar, and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) mortar were tested to determine...
