This study was performed to evaluate engineering properties of rice straw ash concrete made by using straw ash, cement, natural sand, gravel and superplasticizer
The following conclusions were drawn;
1. The unit weight was in the range of 2,231~2,293kgf/㎤, the unit weights of those concrete were decreased 1~3% than that of the normal cement concrete.
2. The highest strength was achieved by 5% filled rice straw ash concrete, it was increased 19% by compressive strength, 53% by tensile strength and 16% by bending strength than that of the normal cement, concrete, respectively. The strength ratio of rice straw ash concrete was higher than that of the normal cement concrete.
3. The ultrasonic pulse velocity was in the range of 4,084~4,336m/s, which was showed about the same compared to that of the normal cement concrete. The highest ultrasonic pulse velocity was showed by 5% filled rice straw ash concrete.
4. The dynamic modulus of elasticity was in the range of 294×10^3~347×10^3kgf/㎠, which was showed about the same compared to that of the normal cement concrete. The highest dynamic modulus of elasticity was showed by 5% filled rice straw ash concrete.
5. The static modulus of elesticity was in the range of 266×10^3~328×10^3kgf/㎠, which was showed about the same compared to that of the normal cement concrete. The poisson's number of rice straw ash concrete was less than that of the normal cement concrete.
6. The acid-proof was increased with increase of the content of rice straw ash. It was 1.33 times of the normal cement concrete by 10% filled rice straw ash concrete and 1.47 times by 15% filled rice straw ash concrete, respectively.
7. The durability factor(DF)was in the range of 85.48~86.33 in 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% filled rice straw ash concrete. Those was showed higher than that of the normal cement concrete.
But, DF of 10%, 12.5%, 15% filled rice straw ash concrete was in the range of 41.26~65.34. Those was showed lower than that of the normal cement concrete.
8. Accordingly, if we use suitable quantity of rice straw ash as a replacement of cement, it will greatly improve engineering properties of concrete.
