Abstract
Purpose The aim of the current study is to inspect the influence of high temperatures on the compressive and split-tensile-strength (STS) of concrete mixtures produced by replacing natural river sand with waste-foundry sand (WFS) at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. When the experimental findings and the projected outcomes were compared by IS:456-2000 code equations, the STS results predicted by the suggested mathematical equations exhibit lower variations. It is proposed to employ the presented mathematical formulas to evaluate the STS of concrete cylindrical specimens at higher temperatures. Design/methodology/approach After fabricating, concrete mixtures were allowed to cure for 28 days. For the purpose of avoiding explosive spalling during the heating process, concrete samples are taken out from the curing chamber after 28 days and allowed to dry for two days. The manufactured concrete specimen is exposed to 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C temperatures for a duration of 2 h. After the specimens have cool down to room temperature (RT), the physical test, ultrasonic-pulse-velocity (UPV) test, compressive strength test and STS test are carried out. Findings With an increase in WFS content, concrete specimens' residue compressive-strength and STS decreases. The STS of samples declines as the WFS content rises with increase in temperature interval. According to the UPV test, the concrete samples quality is “good” up to 400 °C; after 500 °C, it ranges from “doubtful to poor.” The UPV values of various mixes declined as the temperature increased. Mass losses increase with exposure to greater temperatures and with an increase in the proportions of WFS in concrete specimens. For mixtures MWFS-0, MWFS-1, MWFS-2, MWFS-3 and MWFS-4 (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% WFS content), no cracks were present on any of the samples below 400 °C. Concrete surfaces start to show cracks whenever the intervals of temperature increase above 400 °C. Originality/value In this investigation, WFS elements are totally substituted for natural sand in concrete mixtures. The residue strength properties, including residual compressive strength and residual STS, were found to be lower after exposures to greater temperature when comparisons were made to referral mixtures. When comparing specimens’ compressive strength, higher temperatures have more effects on the STS of samples with higher WFS contents.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
