Study of Compressive Strength on Red Mud Concrete Using Rebound Hammer Test

Red mud, a by-product of the Bayer process used for refining bauxite into alumina, has become a major environmental concern due to its vast accumulation and disposal challenges. However, recent studies have explored the use of red mud as an alternative material in concrete production, given its availability, cost-effectiveness, and potential to enhance the properties of concrete. Red mud is typically rich in iron oxide, silica, and alumina, which can influence the mechanical properties of concrete.
