Identification Shelly, medium quartz sand Description The sample consisted of 500 grams of damp, clean greyish orange sand composed mainly of sub- rounded to rounded, small quartz grains, but in detail speckled by small shell fragments, Figure 1: Digital image of sub sample from supplied sand.

The coarse fraction cons lithic clasts sted of predominately shell fragments and quartz. grains with minor Figure 2: Digital image of sieve fractions.

Extracts may be used only with expressed prior written approval of Geochempet Services GEOCHEMPET SERVICES, BRISBANE Figure 3: Image of coarse sieve fraction dominated by shell fragments and quartz grains. An approximate composition of the sand, expressed in volume percent of clast types and based (on microscopic identification and brief counting of 100 points falling within sectioned fragments, is: 36% quartz as unstrained to mildly strained free grains (29%) and simple crystalline composite grains (7%) 22% quartz as moderately strained grains and crystalline composite grains 3% quartzite (2% moderately strained) 1% vein quartz (heavily strained) <1% chert 4% _feldspars (4% K feldspar and <1% plagioclase) <1% free mica 1% lithic clasts of intermediate volcanic rock 2% lithic clasts of acid tuff (<1% microcrystalline quartz) 4% lithic clasts of arenite (2% quartz) 2% lithic clasts of meta-pelite 25% carbonate shell fragments ‘The sand is dominated by quartz in the form of sub-rounded rounded grains (most commonly around 0.2 to 0.6 mm in size) of unstrained to mildly strained free quartz grains (29%) and less abundant rounded clasts of simple crystalline composites (7%) of two or more unstrained to mildly strained quartz grains. Simple or polycrystalline grains of moderately strained quartz amount to about 22%, Grains of quartzite amounted to 3% (25 moderately strained). About 1% deleterious heavily strained vein quartz and <1% microcrystalline quartz as chert was noted.

Free flakes of micas amounted to <1% of the supplied sand sample. Minor other lithic clasts comprise 4% arenite (including 2% quartz) and 2 1% each of acid tuff (mainly finely microcrystalline feldspars and quartz) , 1% intermediate volcanics (ferruginized in parts), and 2% lithic clasts of meta-pelite Carbonate shell fragments amount to 25%. The shells are wor broken fragments of various types of shells, some coiled or chambered, some platy and curved and some porous. They may include gastropods, bivalves, foraminifera and other organisms. Comments and Interpretations The supplied concrete sand sample (labelled 260745) from Allsands Pty Ltd, is considered to consist of clean, shelly quartz sand which may be described broadly for engineering purposes as ‘medium quartz sand. It carries minor other mineral grains and minor durable lithic clasts. The sand has a free silica content (or total quartz content) of about 64%, comprising 58% quartz as free grains and crystalline composite grains, about 6% quartz locked within lithic clasts of arenite, veined quartz and quartzite, and <1% finely microcrystalline quartz within lithic clasts of chert and acid tuff. The sand consists mainly of small, hard, strong, generally siliceous, rounded mineral and minor Tock fragments, so it is interpreted to be physically suitable for use as concrete sand. Whilst the carbonate shell fragments are not as hard as the dominant quartz and feldspar grains, they are considered not to detract substantially from the quality of the sand for use in concrete but should not be exposed to high temperatures. The sand is considered adequate for use as a fine component in asphalt, given the high carbonate and lower quartz, content. in conerete. It carries <1% of cherty or finely microcrystalline quartz and 24% moderately stained quartz and 1% heavily strained quartz. Thus, sand of the type represented in the supplied sample is interpreted to be suitable for use in conerete provided that appropriate precautions are taken in mix and engineering design to take account of its perceived potential for mild or slow deleterious alkali-silica reactivity Guidance on appropriate precautions can be obtained from the 2015 joint publication of the Cement and Concrete Association of Australia and Standards Australia, entitled Alkali Aggregate Reaction - Guidelines on Minimising the Risk of Damage to Concrete Structures in Australia, Free Content The free silica content is about 64%, January, 2022 Bo220102 Page 5 of 6 The material contained within this report may not be quoted other than in full.
