Penggunaan abu sekam padi di dalam industri konkrit semakin berkembang terutamanya dalam sektor konkrit teknologi hijau. Abu sekam padi mempunyai potensi yang besar untuk digunakan sebagai bahan pengganti separa simen. Ini kerana abu sekam padi mempunyai kandungan silika yang aktif untuk betindak balas. Dalam kajian ini, konkrit yang digunakan adalah konkit yang berkekuatan tinggi iaitu 60 MPa. Peratusan sekam padi yang digunakan adalah 10 %, 15 % dan 20 % daripada jumlah simen. Nisbah air-simen ditetapkan adalah 0.33. Ujian dilakukan pada 7, 14, 21 and 28 hari. Penggantian abu sekam padi terhadap konkrit dikaji melalui 2 aspek iaitu konkrit segar dan konkrit keras. Ujian konkrit segar yang dijalankan adalah ujian penurunan dan ujian meja aliran. Manakala ujian konkrit keras pula adalah ujian kekuatan mampatan, ujian keliangan, ujian kebolehtelapan, ujian penetrasi klorida dan ujian penyerapan awal permukaan. Keputusan yang diperolehi menunjukkan peningkatan terhadap sifat konkrit. Penggantian abu sekam padi sebanyak 20 % menunjukkan tindak balas yang lambat terhadap ion klorida dan sesuai diaplikasikan di persekitaran marin. Ujian penyerapan awal permukaan dan keliangan cenderung kepada pembaikan kualiti konkrit. Kebolehkerjaan, kebolehtelapan dan kekuatan mampatan juga menunjukkan keputusan yang positif. Secara keseluruhan, abu sekam padi mempunyai potensi besar untuk digunakan sebagai bahan tambah mineral terutamanya pada tahap penggantian 20 %. ___________________________________________________________________________________ The utilization of RHA as mineral admixture for concrete has evolved in ecofriendly sector of green technology concrete. Its characteristic has great potential to be used as partial replacement of cement due to the reactivity of its silica content. In this study, the concrete used is high strength concrete. The concrete sample is designed as grade 60. The replacement of RHA is 10 %, 15 % and 20 % of cement volume. The water-cement ratio is fixed at 0.33. The tests were conducted at the ages 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The effects of using RHA in concrete have been studied on fresh concrete and hardened concrete. The fresh concrete tests conducted are slump and flow table tests. The hardened concrete tests include compressive strength test, porosity test, permeability test, rapid chloride permeability test and initial surface absorption test. The result indicates the positive reaction which is enhancement in properties of concrete. The result is compared to the control sample. The concrete sample of RHA 20 shows the lowest results in rapid chloride permeability test. It will lead to better resistance in exposure to marine environment. Besides, the initial surface absorption and porosity tend to be improved with RHA inclusion. Workability, permeability and compressive strength are also improved due to RHA inclusion. Overall, the replacement of RHA at 20 % shows the most promising potential to enhance the properties of concrete. ___________________________________________________
