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...
