This study, "Corn Husk Ash as Cement Extender" aimed to determine the following: If corn husk ash can be used as a cement extender, and the significant difference between commercial cement bricks and cement bricks from com husk ash used as cement extender in terms of hardness or compressive strength.
The type of research was experimental research and the method used is Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two (2) replications. The samples were tested using the Compression and Flexural Testing Machine to determine the values of their compressive strengths.
Bricks had been fabricated with different concentrations (0%, 20%, 33.33%. 42.86%, 50%, and 75%) of corn husk ash. These bricks were tested by compression and found out that the control group (To) has the greatest amounts in terms of mass, density, and compressive strength with average values of 950.00 g, 1.6896 g/cm³, and 212.5 kN, respectively.
The Compression and Flexural Testing Machine showed that the other bricks with concentrations 20%, 33.33%, and 42.86% of corn husk ash are still good quality bricks with average compressive strengths of 153.7 kN, 70.9 kN, and 30.1 kN, respectively.
The researchers have found out that there is a significant difference between the control group (To. commercial cement bricks) and the bricks with concentrated corn husk ash as extender. It indicates that corn husk ash can be used only as a cement extender. These bricks with concentrated corn husk ash can be used as an alternative for cement extender. Reproduction of the bricks can be used for community projects that will serve as their source of income.
Further study should be done fabricating bricks with other raw materials that will serve as cement extenders. Other test methods should be done in order to classify more the quality of the bricks.
