Pozzolanic reactions of RHA entirely depends on controlled burning condition. The current study illustrates the effects of controlled burn rice husk ash (RHA) on the geotechnical properties of A-2-4 type soil. The compactibility, bearing capacity, compressive strength, and shear strength were investigated as the important geotechnical properties on soil with 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of RHA admixtures. Considering the 7-day moist curing, standard Proctor compaction tests, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests, Consolidated-Drained (CD) Triaxial Compression tests, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) tests were conducted on soil-RHA combinations. The test results showed that the optimum moisture content increased, but MDD reduced with the increment of RHA content. Soil with 5% RHA showed the increase of CBR (39.5%), UCS (6.0%), modulus of deformation (56.3%), cohesion (11.8%), and angle of internal friction (6.3%) compared to control specimen which indicated that the application of burnt RHA at a controlled temperature significantly enhanced the geotechnical properties of soil. SEM image on soil with 5% RHA also observed the best microstructural development.
