One of the solutions is to use crushed sand to replace natural sand as aggregate in concrete, especially the study of using crushed sand to make high-strength self-compacting concrete.

Artificial aggregates (AAs) are man-made construction material, and the properties greatly depend on its manufacturing process (e.g. granulation and hardening) and the raw materials (usually different source of wastes) used. ... Rashad (2018) gathered information regarding the use of LECA as fine and coarse aggregate in concrete and mortars ...

This paper presents the investigation results of SFRC with artificial sand as fine aggregate tested in flexure and comparative study of it energy absorption capacity.

Aggregates may be broadly classi fied as natural or artificial, both with respect to source and to method of preparation. Natural sands and gravels are the product of weathering and the action of wind or water, while manufactured crushed fine aggregate and crushed stone coarse and fine aggregate are produced by crushing natural stone.

In many countries sources of natural sand for use as an aggregate in construction are becoming scarce as sand pits are exhausted and environmental legislation prevents dredging [1, 2, 3]. This is driving the need …

Three types of aggregate, including metallurgical slag aggregate (steel slag, copper slag, and iron sand), rare earth porcelain sand (REPS) aggregate as artificial aggregate, and recycled aggregate, were selected to produce concrete with the same basic mixture proportions in order to investigate the influence of aggregate types and aggregate …

Fine aggregate, also known as sand, is a crucial component in the construction industry, particularly in the production of concrete and mortar. ... driveways, and patios. Fine aggregate is also used in the construction of artificial beaches and sports fields. Electrical Cable Installation Trenches. Fine aggregate is used as backfill material in ...

Waste foundry sand (WFS), a by-product of the metal casting industries (ferrous and non-ferrous) is a viable alternative to replace natural sand in concrete. In this regard, …

This paper presents the study of steel fiber reinforced concrete with artificial sand as fine aggregate. Three matrices with compressive strength 20, 30 and 40 MPa were designed and reinforced ...

The artificial sand produced by proper machines can be a better substitute to river sand. The sand should be sharp, clean and course. The grains should be of durable material. ... There is standard specification for Fine aggregates (Sand). It is divided in four gradations. Generally known as Zone I, Zone II, Zone III and Zone IV. There is sieve ...

2.2 Fine Aggregates. The fine aggregate used in this study was natural river sand and locally sourced. Its properties were checked as per IS: 383-2016 and IS: 2386-1963. It exhibited a specific gravity of 2.61, water absorption of 1.2%, and loose and compacted bulk density of 1580 kg/m 3 and 1602 kg/m 3, respectively. According to gradation, it ...

This paper presents the study of steel fiber reinforced concrete with artificial sand as fine aggregate. Three matrices with compressive strength 20, 30 and 40 MPa were designed and reinforced with

3.2 Fine aggregate (FA) Artificial sand of grading zone-II as per IS 383:1987 was used. Physical properties of river and artificial are shown in table 2. Details of sieve analysis for natural and artificial sand carried out, shown in table 3. Table 2. Physical properties of river and artificial sand.

Growing demand for fine-aggregates in construction: Nearly 65-80% of the volume of concrete and screed mixes is made up of sand/aggregates. The UK market alone requires an approximate 200 Million Tonnes of aggregates every year for various construction purposes.

E ects of desert sand substitution on concrete properties using desert sand-doped quartz sand as the ne aggregate Ceramics – Silikáty 66 (4) 540-554 (2022) 551 positively correlated to the ...

concrete using desert sand-doped artificial sand as the fine aggregate (DAS concrete) in this study are listed in Table 2, while the binder compositions are shown in Figure 2a. Besides the cement paste, the residual space in the concrete was occupied by the aggregate, including the fine aggregate (sand) and coarse aggregate (crushed stone).

Tests were carried out on cubes, cylinders and unreinforced beams to study the mechanical properties of concrete using foundry sand and compared with concrete with artificial sand as fine aggregate. Artificial sand was replaced with five percentage (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) of WFS by weight.

For the first time, geopolymer aggregates and cement-bonded aggregates were used as fine aggregates to produce artificial aggregate ECC. The mechanical properties of artificial aggregate ECC, including compressive strength, tensile behavior, and crack patterns were investigated and compared with those of high-strength ECC using fine silica sand.
