The percentage passing 150 microns of manufactured sand is relaxed to 20% (while that of natural sand is limited to 10%). As per design and economics, crushed sand can be used to partially or fully replace river sand from a concrete mix. The Availability of crushed sand is not a concern as it can be manufactured from rocks in any season. 2.

09.08.2021Seawater sea-sand concrete (SSSC) refers to concrete prepared with seawater and/or sea-sand instead of freshwater and/or river-sand. It generally sets faster due to the exist of chloride but demonstrates slightly lower long-term strength compared to ordinary concrete due to the effect of the sulfate or impurities [3], [4].

Sea sand is contaminated with salts. The salts are destructive to reinforcing and some of the chemical bonds that are formed as concrete sets. Sea sand can be used if washed. It can also be used for low strength or non-structural concrete. It is also smoother than typical river sands, and reduces the strength of the concrete even if washed. Alan Wu
