Generation of waste foundry sand as a by-product of metal casting industries causes environmental problems such as infertility of land, unsightly, awful smell etc. because of its improper disposal. Thus, its usage in building material and in other fields is essential for reduction of these environmental problems. This research is carryout to produce a low-cost concrete. An experimental investigation is carry out on a concrete containing waste foundry sand in the range of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by weight for M-40 grade concrete. The concrete containing foundry sand is to be test and compare with conventional concrete in terms of workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. Cubes will be cast and compression test will be performance on 7th, 14th, 21th and 28th days. Cylinder and beam will be cast and test be performance on 7th and 28th days. The aim of this research is to know the mechanical properties of concrete after adding optimum quantity of waste Foundry sand in different proportion.
