Abstract
Bauxite tailing waste or commonly known as red mud is considered to be a very hazardous material. The using of red mud to make alternative building material has been widely studied for many years. Geopolymer as one of the breakthrough in the searching of ordinary portland cement/concrete substitution provides many options and possibilities of using different types of pozzolanic or alumina-silica materials. In this study, the using of red mud in metakaoline-based geopolymer paste has been studied in three different curing conditions for 7 days of sample age. Each sample then characterized both, macroscopically and microscopically including compressive strength testing, SEM photograph, XRD and FTIR spectroscopy
