Abstract:
This paper discusses the properties of rice husk ash samples produced from different types of field ovens to compare the performance of the
ovens and to identify the most feasible method to produce a reactive pozzolana as an alternative to cement for building applications requiring
lower strengths. Different types of ashes are produced and long-term strength of rice husk ash pozzolanas with lime or cement is investigated to
suggest a sustainable affordable option in rural building applications, especially for rural housing in Kerala, a southern state of India
