Industrial waste productions are increased these days, which is causing grief to the environment. Hence it is necessary to cut down the waste generation or reuse the waste. It is needed to utilize the waste to reduce environment damage. It is known that ashes produced from the industries can be used in construction. Ashes like fly ash can successfully replaces the cement showing good results. Researchers are finding the new ways to use ashes in production of cement. Now a days cement manufactures adulterates the cement with pozzolanic material like fly ash, rice husk ash, sugarcane bagasse ash etc. Using these product in concrete, they not only reduces the pollution but also lower the price effectively. If these fillers added in proportion it enhances the properties of concrete like workability, strength, water absorption, permeability etc. considerably. This review paper represents the properties of concrete when cement gets partially replaced by sugarcane bagasse ash, fly ash and rice husk ash. This paper primarily concentrates on the properties like durability and strength when cement concrete contain fillers in it. It also considers the non-destructive tests which are performed.

This research studies the potential for using waste ash from industrial and agricultural by-products as a pozzolanic material. Classified fly ash (FA) and ground rice husk ash (RA) were the materials used. Water requirement, compressive strength and porosity of cement mortar were investigated. Test results indicated that FA and RA (waste ash) have a high potential to be used as a good pozzolanic material. The water requirement of mortar mix decreases with the increases in fly ash content. For ground rice husk ash (RA), the water requirement of mortar mix increases with the increases in rice husk ash content. In addition, the reduction in porosity was associated with the increase in compressive strength.

The optimized RHA, by controlled burn or grinding, has been used as a pozzolanic material in cement and concrete. Using it provides several advantages, such as improved strength and durability properties, and environmental benefits related to the disposal of waste materials and to reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Up to now, little research has been done to investigate the use of RHA as supplementary material in cement and concrete production .The main objective of this work is to study the suitability of the rice husk ash as a pozzolanic material for cement replacement in concrete. However it is expected that the use of rice husk ash in concrete improve the strength properties of concrete. Also it is an attempt made to develop the concrete using rice husk ash as a source material for partial replacement of cement, which satisfies the

During recent years, the Taiwan government launches issues of green building , sustainable engineering , carbon reduction and etc. , to promote balance construction and environment ecology. One of the most important materials in those engineering issues is cement which is used widely in construction industry. Cement emits 0.85 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) for each ton of cement used in average. This not only causes the waste of energy but also againsts the conception of environmental protection. This research uses the rice husk ash (RHA) which people always regards as the waste material as a pozzolanic material to replace part of cement to make high performance concrete (HPC). Then makes the value analysis and properties investigation for HPC. Based on this research, rice husk (RH) will contain lots of silicon dioxide (SiO2) after burning into RHA. If use RHA to replace part of cement, it can get appropriate properties of compressive strength and durability. More important is that by replacing part of cement, it not only will reduce the emission of CO2 and save money but also reach the goal of global village protection on earth.
