The alternatives include industrial and agricultural wastes, and their potential advantages can be achieved through recycling, repurposing, and renewing processes. With the use of these wastes as additional and replacement materials, significant energy savings and a reduction in cement use can be achieved, which helps to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the environment. Therefore, the use of rice husk ash (RHA) and wheat straw ash (WSA) as ternary cementitious material (TCM) in concrete can help reduce the impact on the environment and minimize the use of Portland cement (PC) in the concrete mixture. This research work is performed on the concrete blended with 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 of RHA and WSA as TCM in the mixture. However, the purpose of this experimental work is to investigate the influence of RHA and WSA as TCM on the fresh (slump), physical (water absorption and density), and hardened properties (compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength) and drying shrinkage of concrete. In this regard, a total of 240 concrete samples (cylinders, cubes, and beams) were prepared with 1: 2: 4 mix proportions at 0.50 water-cement ratio and cured at 7 and 28 days, respectively. Moreover, the workability of green concrete is getting reduced as the quantity of TCM increases in the mixture. Besides, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength are enhanced by 12.65, 9.40, and 9.46 at 10 of TCM (5 RHA and 5 WSA) on 28 days consistently. Furthermore, the density and water absorption of concrete are reduced with the increase in the dosages of TCM on 28 days, respectively. In addition, the drying shrinkage is reduced with the increase in the quantity of TCM in concrete. © 2021 Naraindas Bheel et al. date: 2021 publisher: Hindawi Limited official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85121587408&doi=10.1155%2f2021%2f2977428&partnerID=40&md5=8f34d598a5c85fb108ecf72e114f2f2e id_number: 10.1155/2021/2977428 full_text_status: none publication: Advances in Civil Engineering volume: 2021 refereed: TRUE issn: 16878086 citation: Bheel, N. and Awoyera, P. and Shar, I.A. and Sohu, S. and Abbasi, S.A. and Krishna Prakash, A.
