Evaluation of rice husk ash's effects on mechanical properties in cement mortar, suggesting environmental benefits.

Incorporating rice husk ash in cement significantly enhances durability and sustainability metrics.
Mortar with up to 25% rice husk ash replacement shows a 70% reduction in chloride ingress.
Mechanical performance exceeds standard cement mortar, particularly with 5–10% rice husk ash substitution.
While workability slightly declines with increased ash content, durability improvements outweigh this drawback.

Shahnaz et al. (2025) studied this question.
