Abstract

Now a day, various investigations and study has been presently going on to prepare an alternative or sustainable material for concreting. Now day’s construction cost is very high with using conventional materials due to unavailability of natural materials. The problem can be solved by partial replacement of cement. The study is conducted to analyze the workability, compressive strength and split tensile strength of the concrete.Using partial replacement of Pozzolona Portland cement with red mud (Bauxite Residue). The thesis work focuses on the suitability of red mud obtained for construction. Five test groups will be constituted with the replacement percentages 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, of red mud, for M-25 grade of concrete and is tested for optimum percentage.
