Strength and durability properties of geopolymer paver blocks made with fly ash and brick kiln rice husk ash
In India the generation of agro waste rice husk ash is abundant. The utilization of rice husk ash in development of geopolymer binders can be suitable to alleviate the environmental problems associated with disposal of rice husk ash. Further, the utilization of rice husk ash generated from the stack...

In India the generation of agro waste rice husk ash is abundant. The utilization of rice husk ash in development of geopolymer binders can be suitable to alleviate the environmental problems associated with disposal of rice husk ash. Further, the utilization of rice husk ash generated from the stacks of brick kilns has not been addressed in past, particularly in development of geopolymer binders. This study proposes development of geopolymer paver (GEOPAV) blocks utilizing brick kiln rice husk ash (BKRHA). It presents fresh, mechanical and durability properties of GEOPAV blocks blended with fly ash, BKRHA, natural aggregates, NaOH and Na2SiO3 solution, and cured in both sundry and room temperature conditions. Microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was adopted to study the influence of BKRHA on hardened properties of GEOPAV blocks. The results show that addition of BKRHA reduce the workability of GEOPAV mixes due to micro porous surface with honeycombed structure of BKRHA particles. The addition of BKRHA showed negligible improvement in compressive strength of GEOPAV blocks.
