Abstract
Supplemental cementitious material made from rice husk combustion is Alccofine. The influence on the strength and durability qualities is experimented in this research. Six different concrete mixes with differing concentrations of Alccofine and cement were prepared for the investigation. The concrete’s durability was further evaluated by absorption and quick permeability testing. The influence of Alccofine, a supplemental cementitious material, on the strength and durability qualities of concrete is investigated in this research. A series of laboratory studies were conducted in which varying quantities of Alccofine were added into the concrete mix. According to the results of the study, using Alccofine as substitute may greatly better the strength. The addition of Alccofine enhanced the compressive strength, with the greatest strength reached at a replacement level of 15%. Furthermore, it reduced the porosity, resulting in increased durability features such as resistance to water and chloride ion penetration. The research also discovered that adding Alccofine resulted in denser microstructure, which contributed to its increased mechanical qualities and durability. Finally, the study results indicate that using a supplemental material has the potential to increase its strength and durability.
