Abstract
The objective of this experimental study is to present a full understanding of different cementitious materials. The substitution of cement in a suitable proportion results in a decrease in carbon emissions. The present study investigates the utilization of parali straw ash (PSA) (rice straw ash) as a partial substitute for cement, with different proportions ranging from 0% (as a control) to 5%, 15%, 25%, 35% and 45% by weight of cement. The primary objective of this study was to examine the viability of utilizing PSA as a substitute for cement in order to partially replace it. The main focus of this analysis was to evaluate the impact of PSA on the mechanical, physical and thermal properties of mortar. The findings of the research suggest that the inclusion of PSA in mortar has the potential to serve as a feasible substitute. This is supported by the good performance observed when substituting a maximum of 25% of the cement content, without any adverse impacts on the overall structural soundness of the mortar. Public service announcement (PSA) is recognized as an outstanding thermal insulator owing to its low electrical conductivity.
