GGBFS, Bauxite waste, Compressive strength, DensityAbstract
Bauxite mud, also known as alumina refinery waste, is a highly alkaline waste byproduct created during the production of alumina in industry and is primarily composed of iron oxide. Bauxite mud is produced at a rate of one million metric tonnes annually, which presents a significant disposal challenge for the mining sector. Every opportunity is investigated to identify the most efficient use of bauxite mud in order to prevent environmental concerns. The purpose of the experiment described in this present study was to determine whether bauxite mud, fine aggregate, cement, and GGBFS could be used to generate low-cost green concrete. In this experiment, bauxite mud and GGBFS were used to partially substitute fine aggregate and cement, respectively, in the creation of bauxite mud and GGBFS-based concretes. To compare the qualities of fresh and hardened concrete, eleven distinct concrete samples were made in the lab. The focus of this particular project work is on the practical application and applicability of locally accessible bauxite mud and iron industrial waste by-product GGBFS for the partial substitution with fine aggregate and cement, respectively, for various civil engineering constructions. The amount of bauxite mud used to replace fine aggregate can range from 0% to 100%, while the percentage of GGBFS used to replace cement can range from 0% to 40%. According to the experimental results, the combination of 30% bauxite mud and 30% GGBFS replacements significantly affects the strength characteristics of concrete at 7 and 28 days.
