Effect Of Foundry Sand On The C.B.R Characteristics Of Soil

  Neethu S S,  Shruthi Johnson

Soil stabilization is a technique of improving the properties of soil, such as shear strength, bearing capacity etc. This can be done by using several methods. Production of industrial waste products such as ash, paper waste, Waste Foundry Sand, etc. is increasing day by day leading to various environmental concerns. Therefore the disposal of these wastes without causing any ecological hazards has become a real challenge. Thus using waste foundry sand as a soil stabilizer is an economical utilization since there is scarcity of land for its disposal. This paper involves the detailed discussion on the possible use of Waste Foundry Sand for soil stabilization.The effect of Foundry sand on the C.B.R characteristics were investigated by conducting various tests as per Indian Standard specifications. This paper focuses on the beneficial use of Waste Foundry Sand on the geo technical characteristics of soil and its applications as a soil stabilizer.
