Use of Waste Foundry Sand in Geotechnical Engineering Applications

Öz

Waste foundry sand is a by-product of the metal casting industry that reaches large quantities. Due to the metals it contains during the casting process and the associated environmental concerns, this material is generally considered as waste and disposed of in landfills. However, due to its favourable engineering properties, waste foundry sands can be reused in civil engineering field, especially in various geotechnical applications where the use of large quantities of material is required. In this study, general information about waste foundry sands is given and their disposal methods, environmental effects, geotechnical properties and areas of beneficial reuse in civil engineering and geotechnical applications are examined.

Atık Döküm Kumunun Geoteknik Mühendisliği Uygulamalarında Kullanımı

Öz

Atık döküm kumu, metal döküm endüstrisinde ortaya çıkan ve büyük miktarlara ulaşan bir yan üründür. Döküm işlemi sırasında bünyesine aldığı metaller ve buna bağlı çevresel kaygılar nedeniyle bu malzeme genellikle atık olarak kabul edilmekte ve düzenli depolama tesislerinde bertaraf edilmektedir. Ancak, uygun mühendislik özellikleri nedeniyle atık döküm kumları inşaat mühendisliği alanında, özellikle büyük miktarlarda malzeme kullanımının gerekli olduğu çeşitli geoteknik uygulamalarında yeniden kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada, atık döküm kumlaları hakkında genel bilgiler verilmiş ve bertaraf yöntemleri, çevresel etkileri, geoteknik özellikleri ve inşaat mühendisliği ve geoteknik uygulamalarında faydalı kullanım alanları incelenmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
