Experimental study on strength and durability characteristics of high performance concrete using metakaolin and rice husk ash

Abstract

Metakaolin (MK) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) are the most newlinewidely recognized pozzolona which is utilized far and wide in concrete newlineworks. The utilization of pozzolona enhances the properties of mortar and newlinecement. At present, only few papers are published on the investigation of newlineexecution of MK and RHA independently in mixed cement. However, a few newlinerestricted papers are accessible in the field of the combined execution of MK newlineand RHA together.The extent of the present study is to research the impact of newlinemetakaolin and rice husk ash towards the working execution of High newlinePerformance Concrete. An exertion is made to concentrate on the impact of newlineMK and RHA on strength properties, durability properties and load carrying newlinecapacities. HPC of grade M60 is endeavoured here with two sorts of newlineadmixtures, to be specific metakaolin and rice husk ash. The blend newlineconfiguration depends on mix of BIS and ACI recommendations which was newlinedefined by Perumal and Sundararajan (2004).In light of the writing survey, it is watched that the admixtures, for example, MK and RHA when mixed in concrete, it gives a better superior newlineHigh Performance Concrete. It is also utilized as a part of the most newlineunfavourable conditions, in view of different rehashed newline newline
