Preliminary Study for Optimum Mix Design of Concrete Incorporating Waste Foundry Sand

폐주물사를 혼입한 콘크리트의 최적배합설계를 위한 기초적 연구

The waste foundry sand might be recycled in concrete, resulting in energy saving and environmental protection. An half Factorial Experiments were performed with the variables of W/C ratio, S/A, Sand/Waste foundry sand ratio and Slump as a preliminary study for optimum mix design of concrete. The results show that then W/C ratio is the most important factor to the concrete strength. The substitute of waste foundry sand up to 30% has little influence, saying that it can substitute the fine aggregate without damaging the concrete properties.
