Pollution is the most important aspect on which we have to think about. Cement being the most important material in the concrete causes the environmental pollution in its production. To overcome this problem use of various by-products should be done, like Flyash, GGBFS, RHA, Silica Fume, etc. Therefore, an attempt has been made to study the suitability of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) & Rice Husk Ash (RHA) materials as replacement of Portland cement. GGBS is obtained from blast furnace slag, a by-product from the manufacture of iron & RHA is the agricultural waste produced from rice husk mill. In many countries there is big need to reduce cost of construction due to highly increase in demand. So by using these waste products there is decrease in consumption of cement which decreases the cost and also these materials are easily available for people. Research has shown that the replacement of cement with Supplementary Cementing Materials improves the mechanical properties of concrete. In this paper the suitability of GGBFS & RHA as source material i.e. binder will be checked.
