The abstract is the précis of the complete work presented in the Dissertation. It should be concise but at the same time should provide information about the work done and the methodologies used. The same should begin with a “one tab space”. The abstract may be written in the 1.5 line spacing paragraph format. The present work investigated the influence of waste foundry sand as partial replacement of fine aggregate (sand) on the properties of two grades (M20 & M30) of concrete. On the basis of the results from the present study, following conclusions are drawn.5.2 STRENGTH PROPERTIES5.2.1 Compressive Strength Compressive strength of both grades of concrete mixes (M20 and M30) increased due to replacement of fine aggregate with waste foundry sand. However, compressive strength observed for both grades of concrete mixes were appropriate for structural uses. M20 grade concrete mix obtained increase in 28-day compressive strength from 25.0MPa to 30.20MPa on 15% replacement of fine aggregate with WFS, whereas it increase was from 36.6MPa to 42.8MPa for M30 grade of concrete mix. Maximum strength was achieved with 15% replacement of fine aggregate with WFS. Beyond 15% replacement it goes to decrease for both grades of concrete, but was still higher than control concretes At 15% replacement of fine sand with WFS, M20 Grade of concrete showed better percentage increase than M30 Grade of concrete by 9% at 28 days, 19.5% at 90 days Effect of inclusion of WFS was better effect on M20 grade of concrete mixes rather than M30 grade of concrete mixes. The rate of gain of strength for M20 grade of concrete mixes observed to be more than M30 grade of concrete mixes at all percentage replacement.
