Application of waste foundry sand (WFS) in civil construction

Abstract

Construction civil is one of the sectors that generate more solid waste, as well as there are several studies looking for solutions to best manage and reuse such material. The waste foundry sand (WFS) is a waste generated in large quantity by foundry industries. The application of this waste in construction is a way to reduce the environmental impact and natural resources exploration. On this wise, this research on such topics is to propose the WFS application in landfill and in pavements.
