Abstract
India is a developing country and in various developing countries like India economical construction along with economical construction material plays a vital role in the development of country. Waste material in construction can play tremendous role to make it economical and durable due to some of its specific properties relevant to construction materials. This dissertation shows comparative and experimental study on utilization of Foundry Sand by replacement of fine aggregates in concrete. Foundry sand is high quality silica sand that is used as a moulding material by ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting industries.. In this project foundry sand is added in concrete by weight of fine aggregates in the proportion of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Workability and compressive
strength and flexural test are performed on concrete and their result is being evaluated and compared.
