  • Abstract:
  • The depletion of natural resources and the environmental concerns related to their extraction have caused a growing interest in sustainable construction materials, Foundry sand, a byproduct of metal casting processes, and Prosopis juliflora ash, formed from the combustion of the invasive plant species, both provide interesting alternatives to traditional construction materials. The study focuses on determining the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams that incorporate these alternate materials. The study intends to examine the impacts of foundry sand and Prosopis juliflora ash on the strength, durability, and sustainability of the concrete mixtures. This study uses Prosopis Juliflora ash and foundry sand in place of traditional materials to examine the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Fine aggregate is substituted with foundry sand, and cement is substituted with Prosopis Juliflora ash in different amounts (10%, 20%, and 30% for foundry sand, and 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% for Prosopis Juliflora ash) in M35 mix design. The study assesses the Compressive strength of cubes and the flexural performance of RC beams by experimental casting and testing. The results show that there are notable differences in stiffness, flexural strength, and cracking behavior between the various degrees of Prosopis Juliflora ash and foundry sand substitution. The Rapid chloride penetration test is taken to analyze the durability of the specimen. The results provide information about the viability and efficiency of employing these substitute materials in the manufacturing of concrete
