Experimental investigation on manufactured sand (m-sand) for determining the basic properties and compare the results with river sand in zone-II

Nowadays getting river sand is major problem in our country for construction purpose. So the alternate to river sand is must at this moment. There are lot of alternatives are available for river sand such as Manufactured sand (M-sand), Artificial sand (A-sand), Eco sand etc. Among the above M-sand is most widely used in construction, since it is easily available and cost wise economical. Much technical information is not available for M-sand. This paper deals about the properties of M-sand such as Fineness, specific gravity, sieve analysis, grain size distribution etc. By this paper a clear idea about M-sand is obtained and the results are compared with river sand in zone-II.Nowadays getting river sand is major problem in our country for construction purpose.
