RHA is a pozzolanic material
containing about 85-90% of
silicon dioxide (SiO2).
 RHA activity is governed by
its amorphous silica content
and surface area which
largely depends on the
burning condition. As RHA is a
pozzolanic material it can be
used in Geopolymer concrete
as a source material in
addition to both fly ash and
GGBS.

Engineering, decrease the temperature effect that
Tiruchengode, India. occurs during the cement hydration.
January 2014. RHA blended concrete can improve
the workability of concrete
compared to OPC. It can also
increase the initial and also final
setting time of cement pastes.
RHA blended concrete can decrease
the total porosity of concrete and
modifies the pore structure of the
cement, mortar leading to the
deterioration of the concrete matrix.

Compressive strength increase
by addition of quarry sand in

is also economical also.

 Significance of Test Results
RHA
Specific gravity
Fineness The hydration of binding
material is affected by the
fine materials present in
RHA is high than that of
cement so it requires more
water to hydrate the mix.
Consistency Addition of RHA increases
the water requirement.
Loss on Ignition Since LOI of RHA is below
4%, it doesnot affect the
strength activity of RHA.
Fly Ash
The Specific gravity of FA is
less than that of cement so
it reduces pores in the
composite mix
Since the fine particles
present in FA is similar to
that of OPC and the
amount of FA add is
significantly lower than
RHA it will not affect the
Hydration process.
Addition of Fly ash reduces
the water requirement.
Since LOI of FA is below
4%, it doesnot affect the
strength activity of FA.
XRD Analysis for RHA
 XRD Analysis for RHA
• Presence of Sodium Aluminium Silicate in RHA
will initiate the geopolymerization process on
reaction with alkali activators such as sodium
hydroxide , potassium hydroxide.
XRD Analysis for Flyash
 XRD Analysis for Fly Ash (FA)
• Presence of Silicates and Aluminates will aid in
the Polymerization process for Geopolymer
Mechanism.
• Addition of Fly Ash will reduce the crack
formation in the Geopolymer Blocks.
