EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON UTILIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE IN CONCRETE

PRASAD N BISHETTI, LEELADHAR PAMMAR


Rapid industrialization leads to the maximum discharge of waste products which in turn causing the environmental hazards. These wastes can be a substitute for conventional material, when utilized in a best way. Red Mud is a waste generated by the aluminum industry (an average of 3million tons per year) in a Bayer’s process and its disposal is a major problem for these industries as this is highly caustic and causes ground water contamination, leading to health hazards. By taking cementatious behavior of the red mud into account, an experiment was carried out to partially replace the cement by red mud in concrete for different percentages and also its effects on the strength and other properties of the concrete.
