 ABSTRACT:
Concrete is the most widely used composite
construction material. Fine aggregate plays a
very important role in concrete. Generally, river
sand was used as fine aggregate in concrete.
In this project ,we are going to replace the river
sand with ROBO SAND. River sand is not
available in all places.
 INTRODUCTION
Sand is the one of main constituents of concrete making
which is about 35%of volume of concrete used in
construction. Natural river sand contain high percentage
of in organicmaterials, chlorides, sulphates, silt and
clay that adversely affect the strength, durability of
concrete & reinforcing steel there by reducing the life
of structure.

Fine particles below 600 microns must be at least 30 %

to 50% for making concrete will give good results.
Normally these particles are not present in river sand up
to required quantity.
WHAT IS ROBOSAND ?
ROBOSAND is sand manufactured,
obtained from specific natural granite
using the state-of - the art European
technology.
Its numerous advantages over river sand
have made it a favorite and a Must- to-
use with quality conscious builders.

HOW ROBOSAND IS SUPERIOR TO
RIVER SAND
Particle Shape

High-Compression Strength

Greater Durability

Truckloads of advantages

Does away with construction defects

Superior Quality

Greater Economy Savings

Easy Availability
ADVANTAGES OF ROBO SAND:
1. Cheaper Great saving

2. No impurities No wastage

3. Superior building Saving substantially

strength and physical on cement cost
properties

4. Consistent gradation Screening avoided

5. GREEN SAND Eco friendly product

6. Ever available
MATERIALS USED :
Fine aggregate
Coarse aggregate
Robo sand
Cement
Project procedure :
1) Casting cubes by replacing robo
sand with fine aggregate in 10,20,30
percentages respectively.
2) Testing the compressive strength of
cubes by curing them for 7,21,28
days..
3) Noting the results in the tables for
comparing usefulness of robosand.
Future scope
The Government of India is in the process of
imposing ban regulation norms on digging on
riverbeds. This comes in the midst of growing
environmental concerns and greater awareness
of protection of nature bounties. When that
happens river sand will become a scarce item.
And what happens next, go for alternatives.
The alternative is Manufactured and quality
sand (Robo Sand)
