“Study on Consequence of Artificial Sand and Aggregate on Compressive Strength and Workability of Concrete”

Abstract

Structures are founded with concrete and steel materials mainly. Concrete is a main constituent of the Civil Engineering structures. Traditionally, concrete is mixture of cement, sand and aggregate. Properties of the sand and aggregate affect the durability and performance  of concrete, so aggregate is an essential component of concrete. The most commonly used fine aggregate is natural river sand and coarse aggregate is stone quarry. Scarcity of good quality Natural River sand due to depletion of resources and restriction due to environmental consideration has made concrete manufactures to look for suitable alternative fine aggregate.
