Addition of Nano Particles Effect of Rice Husk Ash as a Mixture on the Bricks Strength

Abstract

This study aims to: 1) Determine the effect of the addition of rice husk ash particles to increase of the quality and composition of stones, 2) Determine the effect of the use of nanoparticles of rice husk ash on compressive strength and tensile strength of bricks, 3) Determine the effect of the use of nano particles paddy husk ash bricks against density. This research method was Carried out by varying the nano-particles of rice husk ash to clay/clay with a variation of (0%, 100%); (5%; 95%); (10%; 90%); (15%; 85%); (20%; 80%). In each sample the strength of the bricks was tested (compressive strength, tensile strength, density). The mixture was printed and dried naturally for 14 days and continued with burning for 3 x 24 hours. Based on the Standardization of SII-0021-1978 bricks compressive strength of 50-5.0 MPa. X-Ray Diffraction analysis is used to identify the crystalline phase in the material to Obtain particle size. The results of X-Ray Diffraction analysis by adding 5% nano-husk ash particles of rice husk or without using nano-husk ash particles of rice husk in clay have the dominant phase of Silica Dioxyde (Quartz) with trigonal crystal structure (hexagonal axes).
