A study on the Strength Characteristics of Concrete Using Foundry Waste Sand

폐주물사를 사용한 콘크리트의 강도특성에 관한 연구

This study was performed to analyze strength characteristics of concrete using FWS(foundry waste sand), as a way of study for reusing the FWS disused in the foundry as the fine aggregate for concrete. As the experimental results, the slump of concrete showed a decline with the increase of replacement ratio of FWS. The compressive strength of concrete made with FWS 25% replacement river sand showed higher value than that of concrete not containing FWS, but the flexural strength of concrete containing FWS was decreased 21% compared with that of concrete not containing FWS at age of 28days.
