A foundry is a manufacturing facility that produces metal castings by pouring molten metal into a preformed mold to yield the resulting hardened cast. Foundry sand consists primarily of silica sand, coated with a thin film of burnt carbon, residual binder (bentonite, sea coal, resins) and dust. Foundry sand can be used in concrete to improve its strength and other durability factors. Foundry Sand can be used as a partial replacement of cement or as a partial replacement of fine aggregates or total replacement of fine aggregate and as supplementary addition to achieve different properties of concrete. In the present study, effect of foundry sand as fine aggregate replacement on the compressive strength of cement mortar having mix proportions was investigated. Fine aggregates were replaced with four percentages of foundry sand. The percentages of replacements were 0 ,40, 50,60 % by weight of fine aggregate. Test were performed for compressive strength test for all replacement levels of foundry sand at different curing periods (7,14,21,28-days).
