The Experimental analysis on Utilization of waste foundry sand for fine aggregates Replacement and Debris for cement replacement for sustainable and economical concrete using Master Glenium 51

Abstract

Waste foundry sand stays a derivative of metal casting of ferrous besides nonferrous metals and it has high silica content which can be castoff in construction material to gain high strength Concrete debris is a problem for the environment as its disposal is tedious. Thus an attempt is made to contribute to reduce the total environmental impact of the construction area by recycling it. This experimental study contributes towards the replacement of debris with cement at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and waste foundry sand as a fractional alternative with fine aggregates at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Master Glennium 51 is adopted as a superplasticizer to augment the quality of concrete. The final test results indicates that 10% foundry sand and 30% of debris indicates better results with 1% use of master glennium 51. This study is done in order to utilise the waste product in concrete to save the environment.
