“…In the construction industry, unsustainable development is one of the most vulnerable threats to the environment in various countries [23][24]. The growing demand for the environmentally-friendly and sustainable material has forced the investigators to probe into alternate methods and materials for the production of Processed Municipal Solid waste ash bricks (PMSWAB).…”

The total amount of solid trash produced in India is 160038.9 TPD, according to the Annual Report on Solid Waste Management (2020–21), CPCB, Delhi. Out of which, Tamil Nadu created 13422 TPD of solid waste, of which 9430.35 TPD was processed, and 2301.04 TPD was landfilled. The researchers have been forced to look at alternative processes and materials for the manufacturing of construction materials utilizing processed municipal solid waste ash (PMSWA) due to the increased demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable products. This research work focused on the replacement of fine aggregate by (0%, 10%, 30% and 50%) Processed Municipal Solid Waste Ash (PMSWA) in the Solid Blocks. This research enhances the sustainable material development in the construction industry. SEM study showed that specimens with CTR do not have any cracking on their fracture surfaces, unlike samples without CTR. This study examines the material’s physical characteristics, including its mechanical attributes like compressive strength and flexural strength as well as its chemical composition using XRF. It demonstrates that the substitution or addition of PMSWA to construction materials is appropriate, cost-effective, and safe.

“…Many attempts are currently being made to extend the durability and life cycle of building materials and increase their environmental sustainability with the use of organic and inorganic products. [7][8][9][10][11] Since pre-Hispanic times, organic additives based on lime mortars were used as coatings for the conservation of architectural elements of the Mayan civilization, since they improve several properties as hardness, porosity, water absorption, and permeability. 12 These organic additives came from the bark of trees as chakaj (Bursera simaruba), jabin (Piscidia piscipula), and chukum (Havardia albicans), among others.…”

“…It includes technology, resources, and potential markets [36]. Due to the properties of the waste products, the researchers determined that the optimal replacement levels for coconut shells and WFS were found to be 25% and 15%, respectively [37]. The researchers of [38] studied the effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) on concrete strength and how much WFS should be used as an alternative to FA.…”

The primary objective of this research is to utilize an industrial waste byproduct such as waste foundry sand (WFS) as an alternative for fine aggregate in self-compacting concrete (SCC). This research focuses on the use of WFS in SCC to enhance durability and mechanical properties, to find an alternative for fine aggregate in SCC, to reduce the disposal challenges of WFS, and to make SCC lightweight and environmentally friendly. Initially, WFS was treated with chemical (H2SO4), segregating, and sieving to remove the foreign matter and clay content. For this study, WFS is considered in varying percentages such as 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. For this investigation, M60 grade SCC is considered as per Indian standards and EFNARC guidelines. After that, this research focuses on tests on various fresh properties of SCC in each batch to find the flowability and passing ability of various mixes prepared using WFS. Similarly, the mechanical properties of SCC such as compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength tests were performed at 7, 28, and 90 day curing periods, respectively. Likewise, durability properties of SCC were found in all the mixes prepared using WFS such as water absorption, sorptivity, resistance to chemical attack, and chloride ion penetration; tests of these properties were performed at 28 and 90 day curing periods, respectively. Based on the experimental investigation of SCC, it was found that WFS can be used in M60 grade SCC as an alternative for fine aggregate up to 30% without compromising much on its properties. Finally, this establishes that using treated WFS in SCC helps in reducing the generation of waste and prevails as a meaningful utilization method. This research will also establish that the use of treated WFS will reduce the density and make SCC a lightweight, green, and sustainable material.
