Over 5% of global CO2 emissions can be attributed to Portland cement production. Demand for cement continues to grow. The emissions caused by annual increases in production exceed gains to reduce emissions through manufacturing efficiencies and cleaner fuels. And also increase in the cost of conventional building materials and to provide a sustainable growth; the construction field has prompted the designers and developers to look for ‘alternative materials’ for the possible use in civil engineering constructions. For this objective, the use of industrial waste products and agricultural byproducts are very constructive. These industrial wastes and agricultural byproducts such as Fly Ash, Rice Husk Ash, Silica Fume, and Slag etc can be used as cementing materials because of their pozzolanic behavior, which otherwise require large tracts of lands for dumping. Large amounts of wastes obtained as byproducts from many of the industries can be the main sources of such alternate materials. The world rice harvest is estimated at 588 million tons per year and India is second largest producer of rice in the world with annual production of 132 million tons per year. This paper presents the details of an experimental investigation carried out to use Rice Husk Ash as a partial replacement to Cement and use of M sand as a complete replacement of natural sand in Concrete in an attempt to investigate the flexural strength of concrete. For control concrete, IS method of mix design is adopted and considering this a basis, mix design for replacement method has been made. Four different replacement levels of Rice Husk Ash namely 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% are chosen for the study to utilize Rice Husk ash and M sand in the production of Concrete. Beams of 100 x 100 x 500 mm were cast, cured for 7 days and 28 days and then tested to record the Flexural strengths to compare with control concrete to check the suitability for concrete pavements. The results have been analyzed and useful conclusions have been drawn.
