Construction activities are increasing rapidly, hence resulted in shortage of conventional construction materials. Mainly Coarse Aggregate, Crushed Sand and cement are used in the preparation of concrete. While the use of agricultural by-product i.e. rice husk ash can be used as a partial replacement with Cement. Due to the pozzolanic reactivity, rice husk ash (RHA) is employed as supplementary cementing material in concrete. The rice husk ash (RHA) contain near about 90 % of Silicon Dioxide (Sio2). By using rice husk ash in concrete, various properties of concrete can be improved. The addition of these admixtures also results in significant savings in energy and cost. The detailed experimental investigation is to study the effect of partial replacement of cement by Rice husk ash. In all 144 Specimen with M-20 & M-40 grade will be casted and tested. Properties like Slump Cone, Compressive strength, Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength and Durability Test for various amount of replacement of cement i.e. 10%, 15% and 20% with Rice Husk Ash for both the grades of concrete will be compared with that of conventional concrete which without Rice Husk Ash. The optimum level of replacement of Rice Husk Ash will be found out for both the grades of concrete. Cost analysis based on the result obtained will be determined and the reduction in cost of construction will be calculated
