The development of automobile, vessel, rail road, and machine industry leads an increase of foundry production used as their components, which cause a by-product, waste foundry sand (WFS). The amount of the WFS produced in Korea is over 700,000 tons a year, but most WFS has been buried itself and only $5{\~}6\%$ WFS is recycled as construction materials. Therefore, it is necessary for most WFS to research other ways which can be used in a higher value added product. The study on recycling it as a fine aggregate for concrete or green sand has been in progress in America and Japan since 1970s and 1980s respaectively. In this study, two types of WFS were used as a fine aggregate for concrete. Nine types of concrete aimed at the specified strength of 30 MPa were mixed with washed seashore coarse sand in which salt was removed, and WFS and then appropriate mixture proportion of concrete was determined. Moreover, basic properties such as air contents, setting time, bleeding, workability and slump loss of the fresh concrete with WFS were tested and compared with those of the concrete mixed without WFS. In addition, both compressive strength of hardened concrete at each ages and tensile strength of it at the age of 28 days were measured and discussed.

The development of automobile, vessel, rail road, and machine industry leads increase of foundry production used as their components, which cause a by-product, waste foundry sand (WFS). The amount of the WFS produced in Korea is over 900,000 ton a year, but most WFS buries itself and only 5~6% WFS is recycled as a material in construction materials. In this study, WFS is used as a fine aggregate for concrete. Five types of concretes aimed at the specified strength of 240$\pm$10 kgf/$cm^{2}$ , air contents of 4.5$\pm$1% and slump of 12$\pm$1.5cm were mixed with washed coarse seashore sand(WFS) in which salt was removed and then optimum mix proportion of concrete was determined. Moreover, basic properties such as setting time, workability, bleeding and slump loss of the fresh concrete with WFS were tested and compared with those of the concrete mixed without WFS. In .addition, both compressive strength of hardened concrete at each ages and tensile strength of it at the age of 28 days were measured and discussed.

The amount of the waste foundry sand(WFS) produced in Korea is over 700,000 ton per year, but most WFS buries itself and only 5~6% or total WFS is recycled in the way or mixing as fine aggregate for construction materials. A bY-product, WFS produced from a foundry may affect our environmental contamination if it is discharged without proper waste disposal in Korea. Therefore in this study, we performed the fundamental research about specific gravity, absorption, grading curve, finesse modulus of WFS, different aggregates and the flow and the compressive strength of mortar with WFS replaced as fine aggregate, the workability and compressive strength of concrete with WFS as fine aggregate aimed at the specified strength of 270 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and then optimum mix proportion of concrete was determined

Flowable fill is generally a mixture of sand, fly ash, a small amount of cement and water. Sand is the major component of most flowable fill with waste materials. Various materials, including two waste foundry sands(WFS), an anti-corrosive waste foundry sand and natural soil, were used as a fine aggregate in this study. Natural sea sand was used for comparison. The flow behavior, hardening characteristics, and ultimate strength behavior of flowable fill were investigated. The unconfined compression test necessary to sustain walkability as the fresh flowable fill hardens was determined and the strength at 28-days appeared to correlate well with the water-to-cement ratio. The strength parameters, like cohesion and internal friction angle, were determined for the samples prepared by different curing times. The creep test for settlement potential was conducted. The data presented show that by-product foundry sand, an anti-corrosive WFS, and natural soil can be successfully used in controlled low strength materials(CLSM), and it provides similar or better properties to that of CLSM containing natural sea sand.

The most of waste foundry sands(WFS) have been discarded. It is very urgent for our country to make a study on recycling of WFS. The one of recycling method of WFS is using them as fine aggregate for concrete. This study provided the optimum amount of WFS and flyash when WFS and flyash were used together in concrete. The concrete made with 60% WFS fine aggregate replacement showed higher compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity than normal concrete. In the case that the flyash and WFS are replaced together, the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength were improved at flyash replacement ratio $10%{\sim}20%$ and WFS replacement ratio $40%{\sim}60%$. The increase of WFS and flyash replacement led lower air content. While the increase of WFS replacement led lower slump, the increase of flyash replacement led higher slump.

Waste foundry sand (WFS) is the waste product that cause environmental hazards. WFS can be used as a partial replacement of cement or fine aggregates in concrete. A database comprising 234 compressive strength tests of concrete fabricated with WFS is used. To construct the machine learning-based prediction models, the water-to-cement ratio, WFS replacement percentage, WFS-to-cement content ratio, and fineness modulus of WFS were considered as the model's inputs, and the compressive strength of concrete is set as the model's output. A base extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model together with two hybrid XGBoost models mixed with the tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA) and the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) were applied. The role of TSA and SSA is to identify the optimum values of XGBoost hyperparameters to obtain the higher performance. The results of these hybrid techniques were compared with the results of the base XGBoost model in order to investigate and justify the implementation of optimisation algorithms. The results showed that the hybrid XGBoost models are faster and more accurate compared to the base XGBoost technique. The XGBoost-SSA model shows superior performance compared to previously published works in the literature, offering a reduced system error rate. Although the WFS-to-cement ratio is significant, the WFS replacement percentage has a smaller influence on the compressive strength of concrete. To improve the compressive strength of concrete fabricated with WFS, the simultaneous consideration of the water-to-cement ratio and fineness modulus of WFS is recommended.

Because the WFS(Waste Foundry Sand), by-product of a casting factory, is generally a smaller particle than a fine aggregate, it has a bad influence on quality of concrete. Especially, the grading of aggregate is a very important factor in the case of concrete-based products having low water cement ratio manufactured by vibration and pressing method. Therefore, it is necessary to use WFS with the suitable grading of aggregate that it don't has a bad Influence on the quality of concrete-based products. This study investigated the suitable using proportion of WFS by means of the composition method of aggregate suggested by Driscoll. The results showed that it was desirable to use 10% of WFS since higher strength was developed with that amount.

The objective of this study is to present engineering properties required in use of co-mixtures of fly ash and WFS(Waste Foundry Sand)'s, which are Presently used as fill or (lovable backfill. The fly ash, generated at the Tae-An thermoelectric power plant was used in this research and was classified as Class F. Green Sand, Furane Sand, and Coated Sand, which had been used at a foundry located in Pusan, were used. Laboratory experiments were peformed to obtain the physical properties of the co-mixture of fly ash and WFS. The range of permeability for all the co-mixtures was from 3.0×10/sup -3/㎝/s to 6.0×10/sup -5/㎝/s. The unconfined strength of the 7-day cured specimens composed of Green Sand reached 94% of that of 28-day cured specimens but for the 7-day cured specimens composed of, respectively, Furnace Sand and Coated Sand, only 64% and 66% of the strength of the 28-day cured specimens were reached. Results of the consolidated-untrained triaxial test showed that the specimens composed of Furnace Sand showed a distinct increase of the internal friction angle, while the other specimens showed negligible increase. In the case of 28-day cured specimens, specimens composed of Furnace Sand showed an internal friction angle of 41.8°, while specimens of Green and Coated Sand showed those of 33.5° and 35.0°, respectively. From the shrinkage test, the shrinkage ratios of all specimens did not exceed 0.25%.

우리나라의 주물공장에서 발생되는 폐주물사는 연간 80만 톤 정도로서 90 %이상이 매립되고 있으므로 토양 덴 지하수 오염 문제로 인한 피해가 우려된다. 또한, 폐기물관리법이 크게 강화됨으로써 폐주물사의 재활용 방안에 대한 대책 수립이 절실히 요망된다. 본 연구에서는 폐주물사를 콘크리트용 잔골재로 재활용하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 폐주물사의 품질 및 폐주물사를 대체한 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 물성에 관한 실험결과에 대하여 고찰하였다. 폐주물사의 비중은 천연골재와 비슷하였으나, 단위용적 중량 및 실적률은 작았으며, 흡수율이 다소 큰 문제점이 있었다. 폐주물사의 입도는 천연골재로서 적정비율로 대체, 유해원소 및 유기불순물은 세척처리 함으로써 콘크리트용 잔골재로 사용 가능하였다. 폐주물사 대체 모르타르의 유동성은 보통모르타르와 비교하여 약간 떨어졌으나, 압축강도는 대체율 20 %에서 크게 나타났다. 한편, 폐주물사 대체 콘크리트의 응결시간은 보통콘크리트보다 약간 빨랐으나, 블리딩률은 오히려 작았으며, 슬럼프 손실률이 다소 큰 문제점은 있었다. 그러나 폐주물사를 30 % 대체한 콘크리트의 압축, 인장강도 및 탄성계수는 재령에 관계없이 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.
