In the present investigations, effect of the grading of river sand particles has been investigated for a good Concrete mix. Sand has been sorted in three categories i.e. Fine, Medium, and Coarse. These were mixed with coarse aggregate in different proportions so as to keep the combined Fineness Modulus (all-inaggregate) more or less the same. Various proportions of such aggregate are mixed in

01/09/2018· Sand – Sand acts as a fine aggregate in concrete and usually forms the bulk of the mix along with the course aggregate. The sand used for mixing concrete will often, if not always, be referred to as Sharp Sand or Builders Sand. In certain circumstances, some of the sand will be replaced by a decorative additive such as crushed glass. Course Aggregate – Traditionally this would be natural

11/08/2018· Aggregates are one of the most important constituents of the concrete which give body to the concrete and also reduce shrinkage. Aggregates occupy 60 to 80 % of total volume of concrete. So, we can say that one should know definitely about the aggregates in depth to study more about concrete. Aggregate may be natural, manufactured or recycled. It includes gravel, crushed stone, sand, slag

These designations give the concrete the necessary level of freeze-thaw resistance for conditions experienced in the UK and are suitable for almost all external domestic and structural roads, pavements and hard standings. These have specified MCC and W/C but also require the mix to contain a minimum air content which varies dependant on the maximum aggregate size used/specified.

The right amounts of ballast or sand-aggregate can also be expressed in simple ratios. So for the concrete mix mentioned above, your cement: sand: aggregate ratio should be 1:2:4 or ballast to cement ratio of 6 to 1. For a low-grade concrete with 10MPa strength, the perfect ratio should be 1:3:6. For 30MPa concrete use 1:0.75:1.5. The cement to
