Effect Of Silt Clay In River Sand In Concrete

Manufactured Sand
There is a strong need for research on river sand substitutes for concrete production and cement sand mortar production. The research should aim to identify suitable river sand substitutes for practical applications in the local construction industry and also focus on formulating practical solutions for using river sand substitutes.

As the thread dries, silt will be weak and friable, but clay will be tough. Dispersion Test: Dispense a sample of soil in water. Measure the time for the particles to settle. Sand will settle in 30 to 60 seconds. Silt will settle in 15 to 60 minutes, and clay will remain in suspension for a long time.

What are the effects of silt and clay in concrete?
28-5-2010Best Answer: Silt and clay are not as strong as typical aggregates. They can absorb water and their properties can change because of it. In fresh concrete, I would think that silt and clay would interfere with the bonding of aggregates to cement. In hardened concrete, if the silt and clay come in
