Abstract:The study aimed to assess concrete characteristics and mechanical properties by incorporating pozzolan variations, heat treatments, and alkaline solution molarities. It focused on identifying the optimal pozzolan addition percentage for achieving maximum concrete strength. Specimens underwent heat treatments at 60°C, 90°C, and exposure to alkaline solutions with molarity levels of 6M for rice husk ash and 8M for palm shell ash (PSA). Compressive strength testing at 28 days revealed the most optimal strength of… Show more
