Experimental Behavior of Self Compacting Concrete Using Red Mud

Abstract

The primary purpose is to explore the effect of neutralised red mud on the properties of self-compacting concrete. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the impact of replacing cement with red mud and other chemicals used in concrete by comparing the strength attributes of self-compacting concrete made with red mud to those of regular self-compacting concrete and conventional concrete strength. The qualities are thus determined using the workability test. Concrete's durability strength is increased by substituting a portion of the fine aggregate with fly ash. In underdeveloped countries like as India, the major goal is to reduce construction costs. To attain this goal, significant efforts are being made to maximize the utilization of trash and byproducts. In light of this, an investigation on SCC (self-compacting concrete) is being done, cementitious material is partially replaced with red mud and 2.5% of the sand was replaced with iron tailings. In our project, we used M30 grade concrete and substituted the cementitious ingredient in the mixture with Red mud.
