摘要：The management of solid industrial waste is of big global concern nowadays. The majority of industriesare not interested in the treatment and safe disposal of industrial waste due to its high cost involvements, causingenvironmental and other ecological impacts. The disposal of waste foundry sand is of prime importance due to the bigvolume produced from the foundries all over the world. Moreover solid masonry blocks which are widely used inconstruction purposes are structurally inferior to burnt clay bricks. This also has a disadvantage that it cannot be usedfor load bearing and seismic resistant structures. This paper mainly targets on two solutions: making of commerciallyavailable solid masonry blocks to high strength so that it can be used in load bearing structures and replacement of fineaggregate in these blocks with waste foundry sand. Although many studies have been formulated using waste foundrysand in concrete, no such study has been reported so far with solid masonry blocks. Design of blocks were madefollowing IS: 10262(2009) guidelines and testing of blocks were satisfied using IS: 2185(1979).It was inferred thatabout 20 to 30 percent of replacement of fine aggregate to waste foundry sand gave good results for all practicalpurposes. This study also aims to encourage industries to start commercial production of concrete products using wastefoundry sand.
