Biochar and sand particle shape. To qualitatively examine size and shape of biochar and sand particles, we photographed biochar particles and sand particles under a microscope with a maximum zoom of 1:20 (Stereo Discovery.V20, Zeiss, Germany) . To quantitatively characterize particle size and shape we used a Camsizer (Retsch …

Manufactured Sand. When we crush stone to make coarse aggregate for concrete. We also make fine aggregate. This fine aggregate can be used as manufactured sand. Benefits. More readily available and closer to the concrete plants. Can save on transportation costs. Makes use of a locally available material.

Sands with a mean particle size of 1.59, 0.89, 0.45, and 0.23 mm (i.e., Sand 10–16, Sand 16–30, Sand 30–50, and Sand 50–100) were used, respectively, to achieve different levels of roughness. Four identical samples were prepared for every level of roughness, and each sample was renewed after six interface shear tests with each dense ...

Effects of Different Sand Sizes. 1. Workability: - Fine Sand: Fine sand imparts excellent workability to concrete, making it easier to handle and shape. It flows more smoothly and is suitable for intricate designs and decorative finishes. - Coarse Sand: Coarse sand can make the concrete mix less workable, necessitating the use of more …

A. Particle shape principally affects the w/cm by its effect on water demand and amount of paste required for workability of a given mixture. Also, the bond with the cement paste may be weakened due to the accumulation of bleed water under the relatively large surface areas of flat particles of aggregate. At the same w/cm, concrete with angular ...

The two coarser sand particle fractions, i.e. 2/5 mm and 5/8 mm were tested according to EN 933-3 [42] for determination of flakiness index by sieving with rectangular ("bar-sized") sieve openings. This is the most conventional particle shape characterization method used by the aggregate and concrete industries.
