S.No Property of the Material Recycled Fine Sand Natural River Sand

1. Specific Gravity of Fine Aggregate 2.62 2.64

2. Water Absorption of Fine Aggregate 2.43 2.38

3. Silt Content 8.2 % 6.8

4. Fineness Modulus 2.904 2.807

Remarks:
1.The fine aggregate (Recycled Sand) is suitable for Plastering as per IS Codal provisions.

2. However, Fine Sand can be used for concreting if it is mixed with the Coarse Sand.

3. Silt Content for the Recycled Sand should be less than 8.0 %, this can be attained by washing the
sand . Further, this can be also controlled if this sand is used by mixing with the coarse sand.
