Fracture and flexural assessment of red mud in epoxy polymer mortars
Waste reuse has become increasingly important in construction, especially when it deals with the reduction on the consumption of natural materials and use of waste from other industries. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the use of red mud waste, alumina metallurgical residue, as natural aggregate substitute in epoxy polymer mortars. Various weight fractions of sand 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 % are replaced by the same weight of red mud waste. Fracture and flexural properties of the obtained composites were measured and calculated. A significant improvement of their post-peak flexural behavior in specimens up to 30 % of red mud content is observed. The main results of this study demonstrate an alternative to reuse red mud waste contributing to the environment preservation.
