other coarse material, while fine aggregates often consist of sand, crushed stone, or crushed slag screens [46-49]. When creating thin concrete slabs or other structural components, fine aggregate is
It was concluded that E-waste is the potentially viable material to be used as fine aggregate to produce durable concrete. Utilization of E-waste particles as fine aggregates in concrete with a percentage replacement ranging from 0% to 21.5% i.e. (7.5%, 15%, and 21.5%) on the strength criteria of M30 Concrete was studied.
The optimization technology of mix design of concrete with manufactured sand has been described and obtained in this chapter. ... improvement measures should be taken to ensure the quality of the project. ... the amount of fine aggregate per cubic meter of concrete (kg/m 3); m w: water consumption per cubic meter of concrete ...
Fine aggregate should fall within gradation limits provided in ASTM C 33, Section 6. If there is a deficiency in a locally available fine aggregate, concrete may benefit from the addition of air entrainment, additional cement, or a supplemental cementitious material (SCM) to address these shortcomings.
For the former, the definition is given in a separate standard, ASTM C125 (2013), in which manufactured sand is defined as fine aggregate obtained from 'crushing rock, gravel, iron BFS or hydraulic-cement concrete', whilst for the latter, manufactured aggregate is a material of mineral origin derived 'from an industrial process involving ...

Suitability of manufactured sand (M-Sand) as fine aggregate in mortars and concrete (CSIC project: CP 6597/0505/11-330 dated 5th July 2011) Project sponsored by: ... Selected mix proportions for M20 and M30 grade concretes are 1:2:4 and 1: 1.66: 3.33 (cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate, by weight) ...
This book presents the features of manufactured sand (MS) and its application in concrete as the fine aggregate. It first introduces the production and technical properties of manufactured sand and …
Although the use of fRCA in structural concrete was reported to have positive environmental impact [38], studies have indicated several issues when using fRCA regarding fresh and hardened properties of new concrete.For example, high water absorption of fRCA may lower concrete workability; adhered mortar introduces more …

partial replacement of fine aggregate and for Mix design M30 and M40 has been used for the concrete mix and cubes, cylinders and beams are casted and tested for its compression, flexural and tensile strengths. The 75% replacement of Robo sand for fine aggregate has been found to be given good compressive strength.
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.
It is used for concrete mix design and if not specified the specific gravity is taken as 2.7 because the specific gravity of most aggregates obtained from different sources falls between 2.6 and 2.8.. 5.Surface Texture of fine aggregates: Generally, round surface aggregates are better for smooth aggregates, this property is also related to coarse …
