    Nowadays,

    We should start to use M-sand as one of the alternative building construction material so that impacts on the environment will get reduced to some extent.

    Here, I will be discussing some advantages and disadvantages of manufactured sand.


    Advantages of manufactured sand :

    • Manufactured sand has a higher fineness modulus index as compared to natural sand
    • It has better abrasion resistance because manufactured sand is free from silt and clay.
    • Lower Permeability
    • Higher unit weights
    • It has very less destructive to our environment because it highly reduces sand mining from the river bed.
    • It has good workability of concrete
    • Higher-strength
    • Greater durability.

    Disadvantages of manufactured sand:

    • Higher cost
    • More requirement of water-cement due to its smooth and angular texture to achieve appropriate workability.
    • Presence of more amount of micro-fine particles that adversely affect on strength and workability of concrete.
