http://ejournal.worldconference.id/index.php/neutron/article/view/203
<p>This study focuses on the utilization of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete in addition with Polypropylene (PP) fiber. The main goal of this study was to decrease dependence on OPC and address environmental waste generated through rice mills. This study considered concrete cubes prepared through 1:2:4 ration with 0.50 water-cement ratio with and without RHA and PP fibers. The water curing was done for 7 and 28 days, with three specimens for each proportion, and the average value was considered as the result. It was observed that the compressive strength of M2 concrete which containing 10% RHA was noticed 7% higher than the control mix concrete and declared as 10% RHA as optimum dosage. Next, the performance in terms of compressive strength of concrete containing optimum dosage of RHA in presence of PP fibers of three different lengths were also evaluated and found that the 0.1% of PP fiber of 0.5 inches length gives the 25% higher strength performance as compared to the control mix and 17% higher than the concrete containing 10% RHA only at the age of 28days. Hence, this study concluded that the replacing OPC cement with 10% RHA produces satisfactory strength performance and incorporation of PP fiber gives better strength performances. </p>Aamir ShakoorSajjad Ali Mangi

http://ejournal.worldconference.id/index.php/neutron/article/view/204
<p>This experimental work is aimed at determining the influence of aluminium waste fiber on plain cement concrete. To achieve this aim, compressive strength test has been conducted. The compressive strength test has been conducted in Compression machine. The plain cement concrete with the ratio 1:1.5:3 at 0.55 water cement ratio has been utilized in this study. Aluminium waste has been used as additional material in concrete. The weight of aluminium has been taken from 0.5%, 1.5% and 1.5% by weight of cement of varying aspect ratios that are 2.5 (length=0.5 inch, width=5mm), 5 (length=1inch, width=5mm) and 7.5 (1.5 inch, 0.5mm). A total number of ten batches, each batch contained six cubes and were casted for evaluation of compressive strength test. The curing ages selected for this particular study have been 7 and 28 days. It has been observed in this study that aluminium waste has resulted into a decrease in compressive strength of concrete as compared to normal concrete. This study has made application of solid waste as addition material in concrete. Therefore, this study will be helpful to reduce environmental pollution.</p>Muhammad Rehan HekroNajeeb-ur-Rehman PhulSajjad Ali MangiWaqar Hussain Phul
