Red mud is a waste material generated by the Bayer Process widely used to producealumina from bauxite throughout the world. The aim of the project is to say the possibility ofreplacing the Portland cement by red mud. Because it negatively affects the environment. Tosolve this problem, Portland cement was replaced up to 20% red mud by weight of cement. Andevaluating its compressive strength of red mud paver tiles. This project examines the effects ofred mud on the properties of hardened paver tile. The test results show that how its compressivestrength becomes equivalent to normal paver tile without red mud content, it is concluded thatoptimum percentage of the replacement of cement by weight is found to be. By this percentagereplacement we can have 15%strength is equal to the strength of normal paver tile.
