| Abstract: | Waste foundry sand (WFS) is a by-product of metal casting industries and poses a significant disposal challenge due to its volume and chemical composition. This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing waste foundry sand as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in the production of interlocking paver blocks. The paver blocks were cast using a 1:1:1 mix ratio (cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate) with dimensions of 200 mm × 100 mm × 80 mm (ZIG-ZAG shape), incorporating 400 g of plastic waste per batch to enhance sustainability. The foundry soil sample was tested and showed a pH of 7.85, moisture content of 3.07%, organic matter of 6.9%, silica (SiO2) of 21.80 mg/kg, and iron content of 1.21 mg/kg. The produced paver blocks were tested for compressive strength and water absorption as per IS: 15658–2006. The average compressive strength achieved was 17.27 N/mm² and average water absorption was 3.33%, which comply with standard requirements. The results confirm that waste foundry sand and plastic waste can be successfully incorporated into paver block production, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for construction materials. Index Terms—Waste Foundry Sand, Interlocking Paver Blocks, Plastic Waste, Compressive Strength, Water Absorption, Sustainable Construction, IS: 15658. |
