Tests were carried out on the properties of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) by partially or completely replacing Silica Fume (SF) by Low-temperature Rice Husk Ash (L-RHA) .The results show that the activity and adsorptive capacity of L-RHA is greater than SF; The compressive strength of UHPC is increased by both the filling effect and the secondary hydration effect for L-RHA, but only by the filling effect for SF. However, more than 10% dosage of L-RHA or SF reduces the early compressive strength of UHPC. The compressive strength of UHPC with two blends of L-RHA and SF with less than 10% dosage of each ingredient is higher than the one with only a blend of ingredient, L-RHA or SF.

This investigation presents the influence of various types of nanoparticles on the performance of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC). Three nanoparticles from waste materials include nano-crushed glass, nano-metakaolin, nano-rice husk ash were prepared using the milling technique. In addition, nano-silica prepared using chemical method at the laboratory is implemented to compare the performance. Several UHPC mixes incorporating different dosages of nanoparticles up to 5% are prepared and tested. Mechanical properties, durability as well as the microstructure of UHPC mixes have been evaluated in order to study the influence of nanoparticles on the hardened characteristics of UHPC. The experimental results showed that early strength is increased by the incorporation of nanomaterials, as compared to the reference UHPC mix. The incorporation of 3% nano-rice husk ash produced the highest compressive strength at 91 day. Microstructural measurements using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) confirm the role of nanomaterials in densifying the microstructure, reducing calcium hydroxide content as well as producing more C-S-H, which improves the strength and reduces the absorption of UHPC. Nanoparticles prepared from waste materials by the milling technique are comparable to chemically prepared nanosilica in improving mechanical properties, refining the microstructure and reducing the absorption of UHPC.
