Performance of rice husk ash, silica fume, and quarry dust based glass fibre reinforced concrete subjected to acid attack

Abstract

In this analysis silica fume, quarry dust, and rice husk ash were used as partial replacement for cement. To create advanced concrete, glass fibers were added. The experiment is looking into the effect of HCl and H2SO4 acid attack on concrete cured at 30, 60, and 90 days. Concrete mix was designed for 0.4 water binder ratio by keeping quarry dust replacement at 20 percentiles. Silica fume and rice husk ash was replaced in 10, 20 and 30 percentage each in proportions. 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 percent of the total volume was the percentages of glass fibers added in the mix. It has been discovered that replacing cement with 20 percentage each of rice husk ash, silica fume, and quarry dust, along with 0.75 percent glass fibre, delivers the best acid resistance. Through its use, offered concrete making reduces cement production and minimizes damage to the environment.
