Abstract

Rice Husk Ash was selected as a green material. Two types of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) were considered and one of them was selected for this study. The RHA was characterized and its effect on the properties of cement, especially strength and shrinkage were studied. Four formulations containing 0, 10, 15 and 20 percent of RHA were prepared for flexure, compression and shrinkage including X-ray diffraction and fluorescence test. All formulations were prepared at their standard consistency. The results indicated that the RHA used in our study was not an effective pozzolanic material and had an adverse effect on the strength and shrinkage properties of the cement formulations due to its increased water demand and large particle size. This investigation proved that it cannot be used in the projects where early higher strength is needed.

Abstract

The Yakhtangay (Cold Valley) in District Shangla is encountering severe freeze-thaw cycles due to its elevated location and cold weather conditions. Repeated cycles of freeze-thaw action on soil cause it to lose strength, leading to settlement and a decrease in compressive strength. The objective of the study is to investigate the potential of terrazyme in enhancing the compressive strength of soil subjected to freeze and thawing cycles. Terrazyme, a bio enzyme obtained from plants and soluble in water, can reduce the water content from the soil while increasing inter-particle cohesion, leading to improved soil strength. The laboratory tests were conducted on both treated and untreated soil samples, and their properties were compared. The experimental study also included performing tests such as grain size distribution, Atterberg's limits, compaction, and compressive strength on the soil samples. Unconfined Compression Samples (UCS) were prepared and tested for freeze and thaw cycles in treated and untreated forms. The research utilized the optimal amount of Terrazyme, reducing water moisture content from 13% to 11%. Furthermore, using Terrazyme significantly increased soil compressive strength, with an improvement of 40%. Based on the study's results, terrazyme is proposed as a highly effective soil admixture that can significantly enhance soil properties—particularly its resistance against the negative impact of freeze-thaw cycles. This study can be implicated practically to avoid freeze-thaw problems in the soil of cold regions and can be proved fruitful for the researchers to study on the particular and related topics.
