Abstract

This experimental investigation was performed to judge the strength properties of M-30 grade of concrete mixes, within which natural sand was partial replaced with waste manufacturing plant sand (WFS). Natural sand was replaced with 5 proportion (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% & 30%) of WFS by weight. a complete of 10 concrete mix proportions M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5, M-6 and M-7 for M-30 grade of concrete with and while not WFS were developed. Compression test strength test to evaluate the strength properties of concrete at the age of 7, 14, and 28 days. Test results showed that there is increase in compressive strength for M-30 grades of concrete mixes with inclusion of waste foundry sand (WFS) up to 30% replacement. Results showed that there was better enhancement in strength properties at 25% replacement of fine aggregate with WFS.
