Abstract |
|
Natural watercourse sand is wide used as fine aggregates in preparation of standard cement mortar because of extraction in excess, natural sand has become a scarce material and it is to be preserved. Factory-made sand (M-sand) has terribly high potential to replace the natural sand in preparation of cement mortar. This analysis paper presents a study on replacement of natural sand in cement mortar by M-sand at completely different percentages. Strength and workability characteristics of 1:6 cement mortar victimization natural sand and M-sand as fine combination at varied replacement levels were evaluated and compared. The workability of the cement mortar will increase with the rise in M-sand content up to bound level, whereas the strength will increase with the rise of manufactured sand. Thus M-sand are often counseled for the replacement of natural watercourse sand in cement mortar. |
