Higher concrete strength compared to river sand used for concreting. Lesser concrete compared to M Sand. Silt Content. Zero silt. Minimum permissible silt content is 3%. Anything more than 3% is harmful to the concrete durability. We can expect 5 20% slit content in medium quality river sand. Over Sized Materials. 0%. Since it is artificially
ContactArtificial sand also called manufactured sand or crushed sand, the artificial sand are manufactured by crushing rocks, stones or larger aggregates into small size particles in the quarry. Recent years, with the decrease of natural sand, the market of artificial sand shows great potential and vitality.

ContactArtificial sand generally contain more angular particles with rough surface textures and flatter face than natural sand that are more rounded as a result of weathering. Over the time some investigations have shown that angular particles, rough surface of artificial sand influences the workability and finish ability in fresh concrete.
ContactRiver Sand is usually obtained from River Beds and Banks. It is usually very fine in quality and has a white-grey color. River Sand is good for all construction activities like concrete production and plastering as it is well graded. As per the Indian Standard codes, sand used in preparation of concrete and in plastering should ideally confirm to IS-383 Zone-II.
ContactThe river sand mining has caused dropping of water levels, erosion of river banks and floods during rainy seasons. Countries across the globe are facing this challenge and some of them are switching to M Sand or Crushed sand as an alternative to river sand. In India M Sand is very popular in the state of Karnataka as there are currently 120+ M
ContactWhere I am from, we tend to speak of beach / dune sand vs river sand. The river sand is usually washed to remove silt. We usually use a blend of both in concrete. That is because the beach sand is much finer than the river sand. A goal of mix desi...
