2020-6-29 Sand is the primary material used in the construction of any building. There are many types of sand used in construction that provides strength and other properties to construction materials making the building strong and rigid. Construction Sands and Gravel are extensively used to prepare concrete that goes into the construction of buildings.
Such salts absorb moisture from the atmosphere result in permanent moisture and efflorescence when used in building. This sand contains a significant amount of organic material which is decomposed methodically in the mortar body thus reduces their strength and life span. Due to all these reasons, sea sand should not be used for construction works.
2020-5-19 Sand in construction should generally be clean and free of stones and other impurities. To ensure there is no excess clay, silt and dust, you can use washed sand if this is a requirement in your construction. Although it is important to remember that washed sand this will have a different grittiness to that of unwashed sand.

Knowing which type is appropriate for your project is crucial, as each type of sand varies in strength, looks, bulk, and price. Concrete Sand This type of sand is usually coarse and made of your usual aggregates.
2020-2-7 The Importance of Sand in Construction The construction industry is one of the largest industries in the world, and sand is a major contributor in everything to do with construction materials. More than 50 billion tons of sand is used in construction globally, annually.
We briefly mentioned above that the silt content of pretty much any sand used in construction should not be greater than 4%. This is due to the fact that if there is a greater silt content then this can seriously effect the structural integrity of the concrete it’s used in.
2021-7-14 Based on the grain size of the particle, sand is classified as Fine Sand (0.075 to 0.425mm), Medium Sand (0.425 to 2mm), and Coarse Sand (2.0 mm to 4.75mm) Based on origin, sand is classified as Pit sand, River sand, Sea sand, and manufactured sand. Fig. Grain size distribution of sand used in building construction.

The production of sand for construction purposes grew significantly with the push for paved roads during World War I and through the 1920s. The housing boom of the late 1940s and early 1950s, coupled with the increased use of concrete for building construction, provided another boost in production.
2010-12-29 Uses of Sand in Construction. Sand is the major building material used in any kind of construction. It is used in every phase of the construction project, i.e. from the foundation to the finishing of the floor. There are three major varieties of sand: a) Fine sand. b) Coarse sand. c) Medium sand
