Manufactured sand B (MSB), whose chemical composition was very similar to RS, was chosen to further interpret the influence of characters of MS on the concrete …

Manufactured sand is the quarry dust or the crushed granite stone that is sieved and made to suite particle size of natural sand so as to be used as fine aggregate. It is also called as M-sand. There is an increase in the use of manufactured sand in the field of concrete construction due to the lack and scarcity of natural sand.
The Open Civil Engineering Journal In this paper, to study mechanical properties of manufactured-sand concrete after high temperatures, experi- ments on the residual strength of manufactured-sand concrete were carried out under high temperatures in which raw ma- terials performances and concrete mixture proportion …
Durability of Concrete: Manufactured sand has lesser impurities when compared with the river sand. There is no silt or clay in the M-Sand. Further, its chemical composition is also balanced as they are taken from the good rock. Concrete made with M-sand can withstand severe environmental conditions.
First, manufactured sand is more uniform in structure compared with natural sand. It also has an advantage when it comes to concrete production, because manufactured sand is less needed in the concrete mix by a margin of 5 to 20% compared with natural sand to fill the voids volume between the particles.
At the same w/c ratio, the compressive and flexural strength of manufactured sand concrete exceeds that of natural sand concrete. ANN proved a valuable and reliable method of predicting concrete strength and workability based on the properties of the fine aggregate (FA) and the concrete mix composition. View Full-Text
However, due to its irregular shape, rough surface, highly elongated and flaky particle content, poor gradation, and high stone powder (SP, particle size < 0.075 mm) content, manufactured sand is a low-quality succedaneum of natural sand (NS), and its engineering applications are greatly restricted [13,14,15].
Strength and durability Aggregates shall not contain any harmful material, such as pyrites, coal, lignite, mica, shale or similar laminated material in any given quantity as to affect the strength of durability of the concrete. Manufactured Sand as fine aggregates in Concrete (grades of M20, M30) and Cement mortars (ratio 1:4 and 1:6).
One possible source of construction fine aggregate is sand that has been manufactured from the crusher dust that results when coarse aggregate is produced in hard rock quarries. Coarse aggregate creation commonly yields 25% to 45% smasher dust contingent upon the parent rock, crushing equipment, and crushing conditions.
When used in concrete, manufactured sands often provide increased bonding strength compared to natural sands. Due to the effects of long-term weathering and erosion, natural sands are made up of far more rounded particles, which adversely affects its bonding properties. ... Although used in concrete manufacturing, its finer composition and ...
The experimental results show that the elastic modulus and tensile strength at the age of 28 d of the test concrete are increased from 31.0 GPa to 34.6 GPA and 2.91 MPa to 4.23 MPa, respectively. The shrinkage performance and adiabatic temperature rise of the concrete are reduced from 98 με to 65 με and 38.9°C to 38.4°C, respectively.
Manufactured sand possesses the desired properties like shape, smooth texture and consistency and required gradation of fines. These qualities lend greater strength to the concrete structure. Improved quality of concrete Due to low impurities such as clay, dust, etc., the sand helps produce better quality concrete.
Manufactured sand is a cube with edges and corners, and the surface is relatively rough, which can increase the bite force between each other, and when it is applied to concrete, it can increase the strength of the concrete. Under the same conditions as other materials, the strength of the concrete prepared with manufactured sand is 2~3MPa ...
