Abstract

Concrete is a stone like material obtained by carefully proportioned mixture of cement, fine sand, aggregate and water, hardened in the forms of shape and dimensions of the desired structure. High quality concrete mixture can only be produced with a proper choice of fine sand with requisite fineness module. The natural river sand is the cheapest option due to the ease of acquisition and in a well-grade nature. However, excessive excavation of river sand creates a serious environmental problem in Asian countries such as China, Thailand and India. Thus, natural river sand substitutes have to be explored urgently.
