The most commonly used fine aggregate is a natural river or pit sand. Fine and coarse aggregate constitute about 75% of the total volume. Therefore, it is important to obtain the right type and good quality aggregate at the site because the aggregate forms the main matrix of concrete or mortar [ 17, 18 ].The specimens of fine aggregate used for this data were obtained from Ota and Atan Tipper garage, Ado-odo Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria. The River sand (RS) and crushed Rock (CR) used were; (RS), (CR) and (50%RS: 50%CR). Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) grade 42.5N was used and it was supplied in good condition.
This study is to experiment the suitability to use beach/sea sand as a substitute for river sand as fine aggregate for concrete. INTRODUCTION Sand is a unique raw material for the construction industry at present, but contractors say that they have to spend more allocations for obtaining bulk loads of sand for their construction work.This study is experiment the suitability to use beach/sea sand as a substitute for river sand as fine aggregate for concrete. Experimental results show that the washed sea sand is ideal for concrete and plastering activities. REFERENCE. National sand study for Sri Lanka, vols. 1 and 2. Final Report, Phase1, Delft Hydraulics; 1992.
Fine aggregate has been extensively used in the construction industry as a key component of concrete production. Although river sand is one of the major sources of fine aggregate, different sources exhibit different properties by virtue of the geological formation of the drainage basin. Further, the use of river sand as the source of fine aggregate has resulted in …Based on the laboratory test results with full replacement of river sand by Ambo Sandstone Fine Aggregate (ASFA), the mean compressive strengths at 7th day was 16.61 MPa, while at the 14th day was 19.62MPa, and at 28th day was 25.59 MPa. ... The primary objective of the research is to evaluate the suitability of Ambo Sandstone Fine Aggregate ...
The primary objective of the research is to evaluate the suitability of Ambo Sandstone Fine Aggregate (ASFA) as an alternative replacement of river sand in normal concrete production. ... Based on the laboratory test results with full replacement of river sand by Ambo Sandstone Fine Aggregate (ASFA), the mean compressive strengths at 7th day ...suitability of using laterite as partial replacement of sand. At the rate of 0%, 15%, 30% by weight for design mix of M25 controlled concrete. A total of 18 specimens of size 150mm x 150mm x 150mm are prepared to determine the ... river sand as fine aggregate and granite as coarse aggregate in Nigeria, researchers have been working on ...
Figure 1. Geological map of Ethiopia [7] Hence, suitability of replacing natural or river sand with Ambo Sandstone, fine aggregates had been studied to pose 2.2. Materials an obvious issue by coming up an excellent combination of materials for compressive with reasonable cost.Strength and durability. Aggregates shall not contain any harmful material, such as pyrites, coal, lignite, mica, shale or similar laminated material in any given quantity as to affect the strength of durability of the concrete. Manufactured Sand as fine aggregates in Concrete (grades of M20, M30) and Cement mortars (ratio 1:4 and 1:6).
Fine aggregate is one of the ingredients of concrete that needs to get considerable attention in the production of green concrete, and it usually comprises up to 30% to 35% of the total volume of concrete. Natural or river sand is the most commonly …In this study the properties of concrete with quarry dust as fine aggregate is studied to find out its suitability to replace river sand in structural concrete. Furthermore, use of fly ash with 30% of cement replaced by fly ash is explored as means of increasing the performance of the quarry dust mixes.
experiment the suitability to use beach/sea sand as a substitute for river sand as fine aggregate for concrete. 1. INTRODUCTION . Sand is a unique raw material for the construction industry at present, but contractors say that they have to spend more allocations for obtaining bulk loads of sand for their construction work.This paper presents a study on suitability of replacing river sand with soil washed sand as fine aggregate in concrete. The study was based on a comparison of concrete performance produced from river sand and soil washed sand obtained from four locations in Sri Lanka; Homagama, Rathnapura, Anuradhapura and Bandarawela. Several standard tests …
Based on the laboratory test results with full replacement of river sand by Ambo Sandstone Fine Aggregate (ASFA), the mean compressive strengths at 7 th day was 16.61 MPa, while at the 14 th day ...This research was carried out to determine the suitability of using sawdust in concrete production. The concrete was produced at the mix ratio of 1:2:4; and water to cement ratio of ... Fine aggregate: The riverbed sand ... Ase River in Delta State, Nigeria. Coarse aggregate: 20 mm crushed granite was used for the concrete production
