| Description |
Rice husk ash is one of the promising pozzolanic materials that can be blended with Portland cement for the production of durable
concrete and at the same time it is a value added product. Addition of rice husk ash to Portland cement not only improves the
early strength of concrete, but also forms a calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel around the cement particles which is highly dense and
less porous. This may increase the strength of concrete against cracking. So far a systematic and detailed investigations on the corrosion
performance of rice husk ash blended concrete is very scarce. Therefore, in the present investigation, a realistic approach has
been made using different techniques such as compressive strength, bond strength, split tensile strength etc. Corrosion performance
was evaluated using, open circuit potential measurements, rapid chloride ion permeation test and impressed voltage test and the
results were discussed.
