Due to ever increasing quantities of waste materials and industrial by-products, solid waste
management is the prime concern in the world. Scarcity of land-filling space and because of …

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 …

Approximately 6–10 million tons of waste is produced annually by the ferrous and non-
ferrous foundry industry in the United States and estimates have shown that only 15% of the …

This paper presents the design of concrete mixes made with used-foundry (UFS) sand as
partial replacement of fine aggregates. Various mechanical properties are evaluated …

For ages the safe disposal of industrial wastes has been a threat to most of the industries. In
