Abstract: This paper depicts the consequences of research facility examination directed to assess the effect on sub-grade qualities of silty soil mixed with foundry sand. Foundry sand is a waste materials acquired from various commercial enterprises forcing perilous impact on environment and human wellbeing. In spite of the fact that usage of foundry sand is keeping on developing, yet at the same time there is considerable amount that remaining parts unutilized. The natural properties of foundry sand can be utilized to get a compelling sub-grade material with blend soil and the issues of their transfer can be fathomed to some degree. The outcomes demonstrate that with expansion of foundry sand to soil, its quality and compaction attributes are moved forward.

Keywords: Silty soil, foundry sand, strength, compaction, sub-grade
