Study on Partial Replacement of Cement with Red Mud in Mortar

Abstract

Abstract: An investigation is carried out on red-mud based cement mortar to understand its mechanical property performance. A proportionate replacement of cement is done to the range of 0% to 20% with 5% intervals with red mud. The mortar was prepared with a proportion of 1:4 and the behavioral performance of mortar were studied as concern towards its compressive strength. The results we would expect that the mortar exhibited better performance at 0% to 20% replacement and as well as red mud mortar is denser than normal cement mortar.
