Influence of Different Curing Methods on Rice Husk Ash (RHA) Concrete
摘要
The study “Assessment of Different Curing Methods on Rice Husk Ash Concrete” investigates the effect of different curing methods to evaluate the concrete performance considering rice husk ash (RHA). Nine varying sets of specimens were designed, including normal OPC concrete, 10% RHA concrete, and 15% RHA concrete, with different concrete specimens (Cube and Cylinder). The samples were exposed to water curing, gunny bag curing, and open-air curing to evaluate their impact on compressive and tensile strength over 28 days. The study aims to provide insights into optimising curing practices for RHA concrete, contributing to sustainable construction practices. By systematically analysing mechanical properties under different curing conditions, the study enhances understanding of concrete behaviour, facilitating advancements in resilient and eco-friendly construction methodologies.
