  • Abstract:
  • Red mud could even be a waste generated by the Bayer process widely want to produce alumina from bauxite throughout the world. Ash could even be a by-product of coal-fired electric generating plants. Coal is put into a burning chamber for fast combustion and is blown. The aim of this paper is to research the likelihood of replacing the cement by Red Mud and ash. due to storing issues, the waste negatively affects the environment.to unravel this problem, cement is partially replaced with red mud and ash in small percentage, at an interval of 10% starting from 0 to 40% (20% red mud & 10% fly ash) by weight of cement. And evaluating its characteristic strength (i.e., workability, compressive strength & tensile strength) of red mud & ash concrete. This study examines the results of red mud on the properties of hardened concrete. Cement mortar is an intimate mixture of cement, sand and water. The strength of mortar depends on the proportion of sand and cement mixed. Cement mortar is applied to tie stones, brick-like masonry blocks and plaster slabs and walls. It is wont to give clean finishes to walls, concrete surfaces and joints for masonry. Red mud could even be a by-product during the manufacturing of the Aluminum. Aluminum is produced from the Bauxite ore. The two main processes for extraction of Aluminum from the Bauxite is; 1) Sinter Process, 2) Bayer Process. Among the two methods Bayer Process is that the foremost generally used method for manufacturing of Aluminum.
