Production of eco-friendly concrete incorporating rice husk ash and polypropylene fibres.

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) has increased over the years due to the carbon footprint associated with the production of cement, which contributes to 10% of  the total global CO gas emissions. This causes an increase in global warming, and the exponential increase in demand for construction of concrete has caused depletion of natural resources. Furthermore, due to increased urbanisation, large quantities of agro-industrially processed waste materials are generated and dumped into landfills, causing significant land scarcity, environmental issues, and pollution.
