Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Foundry Sand in Self Compacted Concrete
This document demonstrates the possibility of using foundry sand waste as a partial replacement of sand in self-compact concrete. Self-compacting concrete, as the name implies, is a type of concrete that does not require an external or internal seal because it is aligned and consolidated under its weight. Foundry sand is a high-quality silica sand that is used as a molding material for the ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting industry. It can be reused in foundries, but after a certain period it cannot be used further and becomes waste, called waste, used or used foundry sand (WFS, UFS or SFS). This experimental study was conducted to assess the strength and strength of SCC properties in which natural sand was partially replaced by foundry sand waste (WFS). Natural sand was replaced by four percent (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% and 40%) WFS by weight.
