Waste foundry sand in concrete: A review

Construction and Building Materials, 2017
Abstract Concrete is the most extensively used construction material in the world, second to water. Increasing rate of urbanization and industrialization has lead to over exploitation of natural resources such as river sand and gravels, which is giving rise to sustainability issues. It has now become imperative to look for alternatives of constituent

Investigating the effect of the foundry sand and waste foundry sand on the fracture toughness of concrete

Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021
The use of recycled or waste materials in the composition of concrete materials is one of the most applicable solutions for compensating for the lack of initial sources. The effect of waste materials on the mechanical properties of concrete should be assessed before utilizing them in mix design of practical projects such as dam construction and ...

Comparsion of Foundry Properties of Traditional Foundry Sand and Microspheres

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
A case study of the comparison of the properties of conventional foundry sand and light weight cenosphere/microsphere particles has been undertaken. This analysis was initiated by the preparation of their respective specimens, followed by the actual testing of these samples.

Compression Behavior of Foundry Sands

Geotechnical and Structural Engineering Congress 2016, 2016
Beneficial use and recycling of industrial byproducts promotes sustainability in roadway construction. An estimated 15 million tons of waste sands are produced from foundry operations (e.g., casting) in the US annually, out of which less than 28% is recycled and the remainder is landfilled.

Interaction of Foundry Sands with Geosynthetics

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2001
Excess foundry sands from gray-iron casting are a mixture of sand, bentonite, and additives that can have properties desirable for structural fills and hydraulic barriers, depending on their bentonite content. To facilitate beneficial reuse of foundry sands, typical strength parameters need to be available so that designers can make comparisons with ...

Cement Stabilization of Foundry Sands

Journal of Environmental Engineering, 1988
Foundry sands from bronze and brass foundries are often classified as a hazardous waste due to the presence of lead. Disposal of foundry sands as a hazardous waste can cost over $150 per ton. By mixing foundry sands with cement, a nonhazardous concrete can be formed, thereby greatly reducing the cost of disposal.
