Assessment of Self Compacting Concrete Using Foundry Sand as Partial Replacement for Fine Aggregates
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is performance based concrete, which makes the concreting easier in case of heavily reinforced structures. On the other hand, the development of construction industry resulted in depletion of fine aggregates. Hence to overcome these problems the Self-Compacting concrete (SCC) of M20 grade was designed by partially replacing the fine aggregates with foundry sand in varied proportions (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%). Effect of foundry sand on the concrete in fresh and hardened state were analysed and from the experimental results, it was observed that as the content of foundry sand increases the workability decreases. The hardened properties (split tensile strength and compressive strength) of the concrete increases up to a replacement of 30% and then decreases with further replacement, however the strength will be greater than that of controlled cubes in all the cases. The compressive strength for 30% replacement was increased by 5% when compared to the controlled cubes. The split tensile strength obtained for 30% was increased by 7% compared to that of controlled cubes.
