Abstract The high cost of conventional construction material affects the economy of structures. With increasing concern over the excessive exploitation of natural aggregates, synthetic lightweight aggregate produced from environmental waste is a viable new source of structural aggregate material. The use of structural grade lightweight concrete reduces considerably the self-load of a structure and permits larger precast units to be handled. Recently in the environmental issues, restrictions of local and natural access or sources and disposal of waste material are gaining great importance. Today, it becomes more difficult to find natural resources. Use of the waste materials not only helps in getting them utilized in cement, concrete and other construction materials, but also has numerous indirect benefits such as reduction in land fill cost, saving in energy, and environment from possible pollution effects. It also helps in reducing the cost of concrete manufacturing. Due to this there has been reduction in the cost of each block and also helps in the reduction of solid waste and pollution. Red Mud is a byproduct of the Bayer Process; Red Mud contains toxic heavy metals and its high Alkalinity makes it extremely damaging to soil and it also pollutes ground water. Red Mud can be used as a supplement Cement material, by this it reduces the usage of Cement production and it saves natural resources and it also improves the concrete properties.
