An Effect of Sands of Different Grades on Structural and Mechanical Properties of Sand Concrete

Abstract:

The sands, used in concrete mixes, differ significantly in their coarseness of grading, voidness, apparent density and other characteristics, which largely affects the properties of concrete. At the same time, there is practically no possibility of evaluating the properties of concrete by any one general characteristic of sand. Such a characteristic of sands as "reduced voidness", which was used to evaluate the properties of fine concrete with sands of different grades, is proposed in the article to evaluate the quality of sands. This work presents a theoretical interest, and is also of practical importance, contributing to increased accuracy of concrete mixes design and prediction of its strength and other construction properties.
