Study of Suitability of Artificial sand in Plastering & Concrete Mr. Nilesh Patil1 Prof. V.G. Khurd 2 Student, M. Tech, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Sanjay Ghodawat University, Kolhapur.1 Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Sanjay Ghodawat University, Kolhapur2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------***-------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract—As a building material, the construction mechanical bond between the plaster and the backing industry consumes a considerable amount of natural surface, and the craftsmanship. Plastering does not resources such as sand, gravel, crushed rock, and so on. immediately increase structural member strength, but it Aggregate is the most important component in concrete, does help to keep the structure in good serviceable accounting for more than 70% of the matrix. Because of condition until failure. the wide usage of concrete, mortar, and plastering materials, the global use of natural sand is extremely large. 1.1. Natural River Sand To examine the applicability and truthfulness of the Plain cement-Natural sand mortar using Manufactured Sand, After washing it with clean water, natural sand with a 2.78 Silica Sand, and Blast Furnace slag Sand in Indian climatic coneness module and compliant with zone II as defined by circumstances, an analytical and experimental IS: 383-1970 was used for testing. The gravitational pull of examination was carried out. For the current study, four this natural sand is estimated to be 2.55. The water distinct products from market leaders were investigated, absorption rates and the moisture content of the used sand were found to be 6 percent and 1.0 percent, respectively. along with a control mortar. Due to a few of the above problems, natural sand (NS) is Keyword: Natural sand, Manufactured Sand, Silica Sand, weak in many respects when used for concrete production.

1. INTRODUCTION Cement mortar is a compound made by mixing cement, a good amount, and water. Aggregates have a major impact on both mechanical and rheological properties of cement mortar. Materials such as particle size distribution, specific gravity, shape, and surface roughness all have a significant impact on the characteristics of the new mortar. Mineralogy, modulus flexibility, durability, and aggregate conversion rate are all known for influencing their properties in a strong way. Sand mining has been banned due to adverse impacts and environmental inequalities caused by the removal of sand from rivers. As a result, the price of natural sand has risen sharply. Under these circumstances, the search for a viable alternative to natural river sand that does not endanger the strength and resilience of the mud becomes critical to allow for the growth of the infrastructure while protecting the environment. One or more layers of mortar may be applied to a concrete, brickwork, stone masonry or lathing surface for plastering. It must be long-lasting and resistant to moisture infiltration, as well as weather uniformly. It should also be visually appealing. These attributes are determined by the materials used, the mix composition, the degree of
Manufactured Sand (MS) is a product of crushing and quarrying. As the aggregates are ground, the quarry is produced in large quantities. Crushed stone sand, stone sand, crushed sand, and fine crushed compound are some of its names. Quarter finishes are a mixture of particles of coarse sand, medium, and fine sand, and part of the clay / mud known as the 'filler' range. The industry defines filling equipment equipment as less than 0.075mm (75 microns) in size. 1.3 Silica Sand Limestone with silica and amounts of coal, clay, and other minerals is what is known as silica sand. Quartz sand and industrial sand are typical names for this material, which is frequently employed in a wide range of construction projects. Rust can be triggered by the presence of silica sand in metal items. Many industrial applications use silica sand based on the grain size and form of the sample being used. 1.4 Blast Furnace slag Sand The blast furnace is a metal mold that lowers the metal into molten metal in the presence of coke and fluxes. In addition to molten metal, the furnace produces slags
