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
Ash. Red Mud mixed with highly compressible soil and reinforced with Fly Ash may find potential
applications in road and embankment constructions with due regards for its strength characteristics,
durability, longevity and environmental safety.
Keywords: Generation; Utilization; Environmental safety.
