Parametric Study on Effects of Water-Cement Ratio to Compressive Strength of RHA Mortar

The main objective of this research is to investigate the effects of using Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a partial cement replacement material in mortar mixes. Water to cement ratio (w/c) were varied namely 0.50 and 0.55 while RHA content were differed from 0% to 45% at increment of 5%. The studied bind...

Water to cement ratio (w/c) were varied namely 0.50 and 0.55 while RHA content were differed from 0% to 45% at increment of 5%. The studied binder:sand ratio (b:s) was varied at 1:3 and 1:4.
