Experimental Investigation of Concrete Utilizing Rice Husk, Iron Slag and Silica Fumes to Enhance its Properties A Review

Authors(3) :-Savita Choudhari, Sulekha Patel, Ravindra Gautam

As per the statistics India has used around 379 million metric tons of concrete in the financial year 2022 proving to be the most widely used construction material due to its versatility and holds the property of being customized as per the environmental requirement. Without the excessive usage of concrete, human development is impossible in today's reality. Concrete's most significant component is cement. Unfortunately, cement production emits a substantial amount of greenhouse gases and poses a significant threat to the environment. As a result, lowering the reliance on cement for concrete strength is unavoidable for the long-term growth of human life. This is the primary reason for seeking an appropriate cement substitute in order to get high-strength concrete at a reasonable cost. In addition, modern projects necessitate extremely high concrete strength, which can only be achieved by properly combining admixtures into the concrete. In India, industrial waste materials such as silica fume, rice husk ash, and iron slag are readily available. Their disposal has become pricey as a result of recent implemented norms and restrictions. As a result, it is vital to identify a viable use for these waste products. Because of their high siliceous content and pozzolanic qualities, these materials can be utilised to substitute cement in concrete mixes and as admixtures to achieve high strength. The two most significant parameters that determine the performance of concrete in any field application are flexural and compressive strengths. It's crucial to figure out how these admixtures affect concrete's flexural and compressive strength. In this research we are presenting review of literature related to concrete technology.

Waterproofing of Substructures

Authors(1) :-Abid Bashir Baba

This Article aims to contribute to increase the knowledge on waterproofing membranes used in building foundations and special structures. This chapter is focused on the study of the methods used to make these structural elements impermeable, as well as the study of the most adequate materials for each situation. Even though the use of waterproofing membranes in building foundations improves the durability of these important structural elements, however in world they are only used in a small percentage of the buildings. This fact relates to the increase of the initial costs that their utilization implies, and the lack of information concerning this subject. The use of waterproofing protection is even more important when the groundwater level is close to the foundation of the buildings, where the water can be absorbed by capillarity. The fact that these structural elements are underground makes them hard to reach if it is necessary to proceed with any repair. Therefore, the repair of these elements is almost impossible, and thus the waterproofing of these structures must always be considered in the project. However, not every foundation type, or every part of the foundation can be covered with a waterproofing membrane. Only foundation footings (isolated, linear or connected by lintels), mat slab foundations and the pile heads or pile cap blocks are able to receive waterproofing
