Abstract

Rice husk ash (RHA) is an agricultural waste rich in silica with potential as a partial cement substitute in mortar to support sustainable construction. This study evaluates the effect of varying RHA content on the compressive strength and porosity of mortar at 28 and 240 days of age. Mortar was prepared with RHA substitutions of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by cement weight. Compressive strength was tested according to SK SNI 03-2834-2000, while porosity testing followed ASTM C642 standard. The results showed that 20% RHA substitution provided high compressive strength with acceptable porosity. In contrast, 30% RHA significantly increased porosity and sharply reduced compressive strength. These findings suggest that using RHA in the range of 10–20% can improve material efficiency without compromising mechanical performance. The study supports the development of environmentally friendly construction materials through the optimal use of agricultural waste.

Abstract

Abstract Soft clay deposits often cause excessive settlement and instability in road embankments. This study investigates ground improvement using prefabricated vertical drains under staged embankment loading through finite element modeling in PLAXIS 2D. The analysis examines consolidation rate, settlement, pore water pressure dissipation, and safety performance for square and triangular drain layouts with spacings of 1.25 m and 1.50 m. Results show that vertical drains accelerate consolidation, reducing the time to reach 90 percent settlement from 8.3 years to less than 3 years, while improving overall embankment stability. The triangular 1.25 m configuration produced the most uniform deformation and fastest consolidation response. The study confirms that optimized drain geometry significantly enhances soft ground performance and provides a practical numerical framework for design applications in tropical regions.
