World environmental pollution is having direct and visible influence of construction industry. Relatively, 10 quintal of CO2emitted by the manufacturing of 10 quintal of ordinary portland cement (OPC), which accounts almost seven percent of the global CO2 emissions. Averagely, ten thousand million cubic meter of concrete is produced yearly. Byproducts like rice husk ash (RHA), fly ash, blast-furnace slag, metakaolin and silica fume will be able to utilize as supplementary cementitious material because of their pozzolanic behavior. Rice husk cannot be used as animal’s feed due to the low nutritional value. Neither can it be discarded as landfill nor by burning because it arise a great environment challenge. By converting rice husk into rice husk ash (RHA), it can be used in concrete as a fractional substitution of cement because of high silica quantity in RHA. In this present paper, the result of some authors with the use RHA as a fractional substitution of cement on the properties of concrete like workability, permeability, compressive and tensile strength are reviewed.
