Utilizing rice husk ash as a bio-waste material in geopolymer composites with aluminium oxide

by

Thirukumaran. T and Vivek. S et al. View all

Biowaste

Permanent damages and spalling occur in conventional concrete due to high temperatures. Also concrete loses its compressive strength amounting to about 50 to 75% of the original strength as reported in most of the research works. As opting for high grade of concrete leads to higher costs and emits...
