Abstract

One of the major industrial wastes was Foundry Sand Waste. These foundry wastes were produced from many production industries which was increasing day by day consistently. In this study the river sand which was normally used as Fine aggregate has been replaced with Foundry Sand Waste (FSW) to manage the high cost, inadequacy, and lowering of water level during excavation. Also FSW can be reused while sand cannot be reused. The percentages of fine aggregate replaced with Foundry Sand Waste were 0%, 10%, 25%, and 50% by weight respectively. The mechanical properties of concrete made with partial replacement of fine aggregate (FSWC) were found experimentally. The compressive strength of FSWC was found to increase by 9.06, 13.25, 14.55% for 7 days, and 13.19, 20.03, 24.9% for 28 days. The split tensile strength of FSWC was found to decrease by 0.95, 2.93, 7.85% for 7 days, and 3.48, 10.90, 13.73% for 28 days. The flexural strength of FSWC was found to increases by 3.75, 5.75, 8.5% for 7 days, and 1.83, 4.27, 6.41% for 28 days.
