Description

The current study investigates the potential for use of waste foundry sand (WFS) in highway sub-base construction. Lateritic clayey soil (LCS) and waste foundry sand were combined in different proportions to examine its potential to use as construction material in sub bases. In this research, geotechnical investigation was conducted that is particle size distribution, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, OMC, density, un-soaked and soaked CBR were conducted to evaluate the properties and validity of WFS upon stabilizing with the LCS for usage in construction of sub bases. The study shows that WFS can be effectively used in highway sub-base construction upon stabilizing with the lateritic clayey soils. 2019 SERSC.
