Abstract
The use of foundry waste in civil engineering is one of the most discussed issues by several environmental polities. This is caused by the excessive deposition of foundry waste on sanitary landfills. In order to find solutions to overcome this situation, this paper investigates the effect of the foundry powder concentration in the structure of mortars. Experiments were conducted with mortars processed at several concentrations of binders, aggregates and foundry powder. Results indicate that mortars built with foundry waste have water retention above to 75%. This observation indicates that mortars processed with foundry waste can be used in civil construction.
