Manufactured Sand
Introduction With the exception of water and air Sand is the most used resource inthe world 16 Billion Tons of sand is used each year around the world Source: www. world cements & Fredonia publications 2017
Natural Sand Natural Sand is an unconsolidated granular material Size varies from 75 micron to 4.75 mm Used as a fine aggregate in concrete and mortar Various sources of natural sand are: Marine sand River sand Quarry Dust Sand Dune Poor Gradation Ban on mining High Salt % High fines % Low strength
Questions to be Answered Why Manufactured What are its benefits Sand? over natural sand? What is the outcome How it makes concrete a of this project? sustainable material?
Introduction Up to 1-3% Admixture Concrete (CH & ME) Air Up to 60-70% (CA+FA) Up to 14-21% Up to 7-15% Coarse Water Cement Aggregate Sand Up to 35%

Problems in India Why Sand Mining Construction boom in India - Mining of sand Violation of environmental laws & Court’s directives Rampant illegal sand mining Loss of Rs 1,611 crores ( Source: NGT Report, 2016 ) Illegal mining environmental crisis NGT, MoEF & other bodies against excessive sand mining.
Ban on Sand Mining NGOs & Environmental Legal Quarrying activists Breach of laws Actual consumption .. much higher PILs and Judgements Remaining ....... ?!!? Illegal MAFIAS Life loss Protests
2017-NGT directive: State government will ensure that no “illegal” sand mining 2013- Supreme Court Order: Ban on individual state laws on sand mining 2013-NGT Order: Mining permitted after environ. clearance 2012- MoEF & Supreme Court : Mining permitted after SEIAA 2012-Supreme Court Order : Sand mining ban in land less than 5 Ha. Legal steps for banning sand mining 2010-NGT Act: Sand mining ban for environmental protection
THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF SAND Environmental crisis Beaches are disappearing Quarrying leads to Sand mining pollution Decimates African beaches - Now African countries are raising the alarm because of their disappearing beaches. Date 15.02.2017

Manufactured Sand “Fine Aggregate manufactured from other than natural sources, by processing materials, using thermal or other process such as separation, washing, crushing and scrubbing” NOTE: Manufactured fine aggregate may be Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) in Annexure A Source: IS 383-2016
Types of Manufactured Sand Manufactured Sand Natural Crushed Industrial By- Recycled Fine Rock Sand product Aggregate
Natural Crushed Rock Sand (CRS) • Produced from natural occurring rocks • Consists of considerable amount of stone dust
Production of CRS Primary Crusher Drilling Blasting Extraction Washing and Sludge Secondary crusher Screening Finished Product Removal • Eco-friendly • Sustainable • Abundant • Superior quality • Vastu friendly M-sand Coarse Aggregate Transportation
Industrial By-products By-products from thermal power plants, Iron & Steel mills etc. Industrial By- products Ecological Landfill imbalance Problems • No area for landfills • Depletes natural resources • Increase in cost • Harms living organisms • Stringent rules
Industrial By-products GGBS
Production of Industrial By-products No further processing needed Energy saving Eco-friendly material Sustainable material Reduction of landfills Boiler Ash
Recycled Fine Aggregate (RFA) Extracted through the processing of the debris from demolition of concrete structures, broken masonry or old roads Aggregate Aggregate C&D Waste Concrete Service Life
Constituents of Recycled Fine Aggregate Lightweight Contaminants Reduces the Organics quality and consumer perceptions of Clay/Cement adherence recycled fine aggregate High Fines content
Production of Recycled Fine Aggregates Eco-friendly material Sustainable material Energy Saving
Comparison between M-sand and Natural Sand
Manufactured vs River Sand Properties River Sand M-Sand Cleanliness Contains impurities Very Clean Size can not be Size can be Grading controlled customized Shape & Round & Smooth Angular &Rough texture Particles below Fine particles are Fineness 75µm is of silt, present mud and clay Specific 2.3 – 2.7 2.5 – 2.9 gravity 2.6 – 3.0 (Zone II) Fineness 2.2 -2.8 (Zone I II modulus and III )
Manufactured vs River Sand Behaviour in concrete Properties River Sand M-Sand Less Workability Good (depends on particle size) Comparatively Setting Normal faster Compressive Normal Higher Strength Im-permeability Normal Better
Benefits Reduces depletion of natural sources Reduces the quantity of Landfill Manufactured Sand Production of Eco- friendly material Reduction of cost of construction Sustainable material
Benefits Cost Analysis Savings up 6000 to Rs 300/- 5000 Cost (Rupees) Savings 4000 Water Cement 3000 Transport Admixture 2000 C.A FA Cost: Fly-Ash 1000 RSC= Rs 5430/- MSC= Rs 5118/- 0 MS in Concrete RS in Concrete
