Overview

This analysis shows enhanced mechanical properties in cement mortar mixed with rice husk and cattle bone ash, indicating potential for alternative cementing materials.

Key Points

Mechanical performance of cement mortar improved significantly with 10% replacement of cement using rice husk and cattle bone ash, showing effective strength gains.
At 28 days of curing, compressive strength rose from 31.5 to 45.9 MPa with 10% substitution, demonstrating the benefits of using agricultural waste.
Microstructural analysis revealed a denser matrix and increased presence of calcium silicate hydrate gel, reducing porosity in cement mortar.
Various tests, including SEM and TGA, confirmed enhancements in both mechanical and microstructural properties through effective use of alternative materials.
