Prabha Kant Pandey & Dr. S.M. Ali Jawaid
ABSTRACT- This paper illustrates the possibility of utilization of the Red Mud waste generated from HINDALCO (Hindustan Aluminium Company) at Renukoot, Shonbhadra (U.P.) and also utilizing Fly Ash generated from the coal/lignite based thermal power plants through ground improvement technique, leading to an effective waste management. In this study samples were prepared by mixing different percentage of Red Mud with different percentage of soil, with an aim to compare strength gain with Fly.....>> Read More
