The optimized RHA, by controlled burn orgrinding, has been used as a pozzolanic material in cementand concrete. Using it provides several advantages, such asimproved strength and durability properties, andenvironmental benefits related to the disposal of wastematerials and to reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Up tonow, little research has been done to investigate the use ofRHA as supplementary material in cement and concreteproduction .The main objective of this work is to study thesuitability of the rice husk ash as a pozzolanic material forcement replacement in concrete. However it is expected thatthe use of rice husk ash in concrete improve the strengthproperties of concrete. Also it is an attempt made to developthe concrete using rice husk ash as a source material forpartial replacement of cement, which satisfies the
