Relative Performance of Red Mud over Red Soils as Construction Material
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 5
Abstract
Natural soils are prominent material for construction activities. Red soils are widely distributed in north coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, which are strong in dry conditions and compressed under saturated conditions. Presence of non-plastic fines and honey combing structure make the soils poor with respect to strength. In this aspect industrial wastes can be used in place of these collapsible soils. Red mud is an industrial waste from aluminum industry which can be an alternative to the soils. In the present investigations. In this aspect Red mud is one such alternative for its use in civil engineering infrastructure. In the present work characterization of Red mud is made by performing grain size distribution, compaction, strength, Seepage, CBR and other engineering properties to assess its performance with respect to similar natural soils. It is concluded that Red mud performed effective as an alternative material in place of natural soils.
