Globally concrete is the backbone for the development of infrastructure, buildings, industrial structures, bridges and highways etc. In today’s situation concrete needs special combinations of performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be always achieved by using conventional constituents and normal mixing. It is weak in tension, has limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Mineral admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, are finely divided siliceous materials and are added to concrete as a partial replacement for cement. The addition of these admixtures also results in significant savings in energy and cost. The detailed experimental investigation is doing to study the effect of partial replacement of cement by Rice husk ash with using Steel fiber in concrete. Thus the present research study includes the experimental investigation of concrete by adding Rice Husk Ash with using steel fiber different proportion in M30 grade of concrete. Keywords: Rice Husk Ash, Steel Fibre, Concrete, Construction Industry I. INTRODUCTION Globally concrete is the backbone for the development of infrastructure, buildings, industrial structures, bridges and highways etc. In today’s situation concrete needs special combinations of performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be always achieved by using conventional constituents and normal mixing. Rice husk is an agricultural residue which accounts for 20% of the 649.7 million tons of rice produced annually worldwide. Burning the husk under controlled temperature below 800 °C can produce ash with silica mainly in amorphous form. Today inspired from the ancient application of techniques artificial fibers are commonly used now a day in order to improve the mechanical properties of concrete. Mineral admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, are finely divided siliceous materials and are added to concrete as a partial replacement for cement. The addition of these admixtures also results in significant savings in energy and cost. The detailed experimental investigation is doing to study the effect of partial replacement of cement by rice husk ash with using Steel fiber in concrete. II. CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW Following are some critical literature reviews on various national and international papers on use of Rice Husk Ash and Steel Fibre into the concrete. This all reviews are on Rice Husk Ash and Steel Fibre concrete and improvement on the concrete characteristic by replacement of Rice Husk Ash and addition of Steel Fibre into it. CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEWS BASED ON RICE HUSK ASH AND STEEL FIBRE CONCRETE: Following are the critical literature reviews on various papers based on experimental research work on use of Rice Husk Ash and Steel Fibre into the concrete.
