Utilization of Waste Foundry Sand for Development of Eco-Friendly Low Cost Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Now-a-day’s good quality natural river sand is not available easily; it is to be transported from a long distance. These resources are also exhausting at a very fast speed. So there is a need to find alternative source to natural river sand. Natural river sand takes millions of years for its formation and is non renewable. Artificial sand is used as an alternative for natural river sand. In this project, the behavior of concrete is assured by partially replacing the natural river sand with foundry sand which is a waste product from machine industries. The experimental work is mainly concern with the study of mechanical properties like compressive strength, flexural strength and also water absorption of concrete by partial replacement of natural river sand by foundry sand as fine aggregate. Tests were carried out on cubes, beam to studies the mechanical properties of concrete using foundries and compare with concrete with natural sand as fine aggregate. Natural river sand was replaced with three percentages (20%, 40% & 60%) of Waste Foundry Sand by weight. A concrete mix of M-25 proportion made with and without foundry sand. Compression test and Flexural strength test were carried out to evaluate the strength properties of concrete at the age of 7&28 days and also water absorption test were carried out. Test results showed a nominal increasing strength property of concrete by the addition of waste foundry sand as a partial replacement of natural sand.
