Performance of rice husk ash as an alternative binder in a modified cementitious system
- The main objective of this project presentation was to evaluate the by-products of paddy farming (in Tanzania) into sustainable building materials optimised for construction of low-cost housing, and suitable to be adopted in rice-producing countries in Africa. In Tanzania, rice husks are seldom used as a fuel – if not burnt or dumped in landfills and there is lack of awareness or active research on optimising the by-product RHA in cement and concrete technology. Scientific research within this field of technology can advance development by obtaining suitable properties of the by-products that can provide an advantageous and alternative measure for their use as SCMs not only in its raw form i.e. husks for low-cost housing but also in its artificial form i.e. RHA as a high-tech as a substitute for cement in Africa.
