This document describes a BTech project that aims to utilize industrial waste (red mud) for soil stabilization. The project is conducted by 5 students under the guidance of Prof. Deepak Patil at MGM's Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College in Aurangabad. The objectives are to study how red mud affects soil properties and prove that it can effectively stabilize weak clayey soils. The students outline their literature review, work allocation, process so far, and a Gantt chart with timelines. The overarching goal is to find beneficial engineering applications for red mud to conserve resources and reduce waste.

Background of the
problem:
• The major drawback of industrialization and
urbanization is the production of large quantities of
• wastes and the problems related to their safe
• management and disposal.
• Innovative methods for the utilization of these
waste products have great demand all over the
world due to the scarcity of land to dispose them.
• Red mud (RM) is the waste generated during
the process of extracting alumina from bauxite.
Need Statement:
• In order to conserve natural reasources and prevent
waste generation, effective utilization of Industrial
waste for benefical engineering applications
becomes inevitable.
• The purpose of this project is 'The potential
use of red mud for the preparation of
stabilization material is presented in this
study'.
Project Objectives:

• To study the behavior of soil (clays) by


carrying out MDD, OMC, CBR and UCC tests
for different percentage of Red Mud.
• To prove the industrial waste “RED MUD” as a
stabilizing material.
• To prove that Red Mud can be used in
stabilization of weak clayey soil instead of
simply being disposed on the land.
• To prove that stabilized soil used may be
economical for the construction purposes.
• To prove that the stabilization of soil using Red
Mud is enviornment friendly.
Literature Review:
• Red Mud finds its application in making bricks
and cements and even in decontaminating mining
sites (Amritphale and Patel 1987; Deng et
al.1980; Kohno et al.1993; Kara and
Emrullahoglu 1994; Singh et al.1996 ).
• The geotechnical properties of red mud were
studied by many researchers as to use it as an
alternative material to soil (Li 1998; Newson et al.
2006; Sundaram and Gupta 2010; Rout et
al.2012; Sutar et al. 2014).
• Kalkan (2006) examined the hydraulic
conductivity and swelling behavior of
compacted clay liners with red mud and
concluded that red mud is suitable for
stabilizing clay liners.
• Kehagia (2014) studied the effect of fly ash on
soil stabilized with red mud and found that
more percentage of soil can be replaced with
red mud when it is stabilized fly ash. Chemical
stabilization of the soil using lime ,cement,fly
ash and their combinations is very comman
nowadays.
