Abstract
This study investigated the effects of nano rice husk ash (NRHA) and micro rice husk ash (MRHA) on chloride permeability, electrical resistivity, capillary absorption and compressive strength of mortars. It was found that the incorporation of NRHA and MRHA enhanced mortar performance in the long term, whereas NRHA contributed to considerable enhancements at both early and long-term ages. Results proved that the strength and durability properties of mortars containing NRHA up to 7.5% levels of replacement by weight of cement gradually enhanced in comparison with control mix. However, mortars incorporating 2.5% NRHA together with 12.5% MRHA demonstrated the best improvements for durability and strength development at the age of 90days.
