The combined benefits of CPF and RHA in improving the durability of concrete structures

The work presented is a laboratory study of controlled permeability formwork (CPF) applied to concrete where cement was partially replaced (10%, 15% and 20%) with Portuguese rice husk ash (RHA). Portuguese rice husk is a by-product which may be incinerated industrially. Various tests were carried out to evaluate the durability of concrete made with RHA at 10%, 15% and 20% replacement of cement by weight and cast with both the usual formwork and CPF. Tests carried out so far, reported in this paper, concern strength, absorption by capillarity and chloride ion penetration. Results lead to the conclusion that CPF enhances concrete performance even further when using partial cement replacement by RHA.
