Experimental Study of Reinforced Concrete using red mud and Lime as Partial Replacement to Cement and Bamboo to Steel

Abstract

Abstract: Red mud is an industrial waste material generated during production of alumina from bauxite by Bayer process Nowadays, the wastes are not having any industrial applications, so it can be innovatively using these wastes as a raw material in the civil engineering field. Availability of raw material required for manufacturing of cement and production of concrete are limited in nature. So as to overcome this problem it is very much essential to utilize the industrial waste materials and byproducts generated in manufacturing of cement and in concrete construction. Experiments Investigation have been conducted under laboratory condition to assess the strength characteristics of the aluminium red mud. The project work focuses on the suitability of red mud obtained for construction. 5 test groups were constituted with the replacement percentages 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% of red mud and 5% of hydrated lime with cement in each series. To achieve Pozzolanic property of red mud, hydrated lime was added. The job focuses on the practicality of red mud gotten for structure. 5 assessment groups were consisted of with the replacement percents 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% of red mud along with 5% of moisturized lime with concrete in each collection in M20 quality concrete. To acquire Pozzolanic house of red mud, moisturized lime was included. This paper points out another enticing direction for the proper usage of red mud.
