Workability and Compressive Strength of Mortar with Manufactured Sand
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 7, No 4 (2018) pp. 51-53
Abstract
Sand obtained from the river stream is broadly utilized as fine aggregate in the making of ordinary mortar. Because of extraction in abundance, characteristic sand has turned into a scarce material, and it must be protected. Sand obtained from the crushing of stone has better particle shape, size and surface textures than natural river sand due to the controlled degradation of natural rocks and has a very high potential to replace natural sand in the preparation of cement mortar. The effect of manufactured sand in mortar, in terms of workability and compressive strength, has been investigated in this work. River sand was replaced with manufactured sand in mortar at different percentages, at an interval of 10 and investigations were carried out. Results have shown that the trials of replacement resulted in substantial strength gain.
