Rice Husk Ash Enhances Asphalt Resistance to High Temperatures

Research shows that adding rice husk ash from rice mills to asphalt mixtures increases stiffness and resistance to permanent deformation. Higher ash content improves performance at elevated temperatures but may reduce workability and increase brittleness at low temperatures. The study highlights a trade-off between enhanced durability and potential drawbacks with increased ash amounts in asphalt.
