Rapid development in the concrete industry leads to a higher demand for cement consumption worldwide. Due to this, theproduction of cement has become very crucial, resulting in a high carbon footprint and pollution along the process. Therefore,the utilization of agricultural by-products as cement replacement will help to reduce pollution caused by conventional cementproduction and therefore reduce the unsystematic waste management. Rice husk ash contains high silica content that makesit a potential material to partially replace cement in concrete production. This is because, the reaction between rice husk ashand cement can improve the compressive strength of the concrete. With the aid of response surface methodology, theoptimization of utilizing rice husk ash as a partial replacement of cement in concrete can be achieved. Therefore, concreteincorporated with rice husk ash with high and optimum compressive strength can be produced.
