Abstract

The foundry sand is used in metal casting industry, they are repeatedly used till the sand loses their
properties and then they are disposed as waste foundry sand. This foundry sand has the properties similar to fine
aggregate. In this paper an attempt was made to replace M-Sand with waste foundry sand for M-40grade of concrete
with W-C ratio 0.38 and obtained mix ratio is 1:1.87:3.17. The various percentage of waste foundry sand replaced
with M-Sand is 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The Workability of fresh concrete was determined by slump test,
vee-bee test and compaction factor test. The strength test was determined for 7th day and 28th day of curing period.
Compressive strength test, split tensile strength test and flexural strength test was done on hardened concrete. M-Sand
can be successfully replaced by 30% of Waste foundry sand with low cost when compared to conventional concrete.
