Strength Development of Fine Grained Mortar Containing Fly Ash and Rice Husk Ash

Abstract:

Fine grained mortar (FGM) offers a new innovative technology binder system. The innovative technique is achieved by using a small maximum grain size of 600μm for the mortars. Most of the previous studies have focused on the FA to be replaced in the FGM. There is still lacking of research of using other pozzolanas in making FGM. This paper presents a study of the strength of FGM with partially replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with fine fly ash (FA) and ground rice husk ash (RHA). Flexural and compressive strength of FGM were tested. The results show that the use of FA and RHA produces FGM with improved strength with the replacement up to 20% than that of the control FGM. The use of FA and RHA is very effective in enhancing strength at the later age of FGM.
