In this study, the potential re-use of waste foundry sand in high-strength concrete production
was investigated. The natural fine sand is replaced with waste foundry sand (0%, 5%, 10 …

This study presents the potential re-use of waste foundry sand (WFS) in ready-mixed
concrete (RMC) production. Regular sand was replaced with five percentages (0%, 10 …

The abrasion resistance and strength properties of concrete containing waste foundry sand
(WFS) were investigated. Sand (fine aggregate) was replaced with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and …

The scarcity of landfilling and the growing expense of disposal, recycling, and reusing
industrial byproducts have become attractive alternatives to removal. There are several sorts …
