Analyse the Difference of the Performance between Masonry Mortar Mixed with Manufactured Sand and Natural Sand

Abstract:

With the development of various infrastructure construction, the demand of sand is increasing. The supply of natural sand could not meet the requirements of engineering due to the excessive exploitation and using the Manufactured sand which instead of natural sand is one of the effective methods to resolve the shortage of natural sand. Based on the experimental study of mechanism of used sand and natural sand masonry mortar in water retention, density and consistence, this paper analyzed the difference between the masonry mortar mixed manufactured sand and the one mixed by Natural sand. The result of study can provide the reference in engineering practice which use the masonry mortar mixed manufactured sand not but mixed by Natural sand.
