The aim of repairing and strengthening of concrete members is to improve the strength and durability. Inthis paper a trial is made to investigate a new strengthening method for foundry sand used concrete beam. It consists ofseveral stages .First stage consists of partial replacement of fine aggregate by foundry sand (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%,12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20%, and 22.5%). The second stage consists of optimum percentage used foundry sand concretebeam externally wrapped with ferrocement .The suitability of using wire meshes for the purpose of strengthening thefoundry sand used concrete beam was experimentally studied. The wire meshes used in ferrocement are of hexagonaland square shapes.M30 concrete mix is used for experimental investigation. The materials used are 53 grade cement, M sand coarseaggregate, potable water, foundry sand and ferrocement.
