The effect of natural sand composition on concrete strength
In addition, natural sand, which consists primarily of uncrushed rounded particles, is often used in concrete mixes because it is generally less expensive, readily available and can be blended easily with other materials. However, natural sand has a smooth, rounded surface texture that greatly reduces the interlocking properties of the …
