Title A name given to the resource Strength and durability properties of geopolymer paver blocks made with fly ash and brick kiln rice husk ash Subject The topic of the resource Durability; Geopolymer; Pavers; Rice husk ash; Strength Description An account of the resource 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. However, the major advantage was observed with improved split tensile strength and flexural strength for GEOPAV blocks with BKRHA. Further, the durability properties in terms of resistance to acid and frost attack was significantly improved with the addition of BKRHA in GEOPAV blocks. Such improvements can be attributed to high amounts of amorphous silica in BKRHA which contribute towards dissolution and formation of polymeric gel, and thereby serve as a binder to enhance the geopolymer matrix making it dense. Finally, all the developed GEOPAV blocks satisfy the IS 156582021 specification requirements and perform much better when compared to commercially available paver blocks. 2021 The Authors Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mahdi S.N.; Babu R D.V.; Hossiney N.; Abdullah M.M.A.B.
