M sand has entirely different physical and mineralogical properties than river sand. The most prominent features of manufactured sand are as follows: This manufactured sand can be described as having a cube-like or angular shape. It has a granular and grainy consistency. Because of this, it is the material of choice for creating concrete.
Sand production occurs when the stress on the formation exceeds the formation strength and result in rock failure. Rock failure happens due to tectonic activities, overburden pressure, pore pressure, stress induced during drilling and also producing fluid drag force [2].Factors, which are affected formation tendency to produce sand can be classified into two …
Whereas the high-grade natural river sand (RS) gradually decreased in more and more areas in China, the market share of manufactured sand (MS) keeps sharp increasing for the boom of infrastructure construction [1], [2].Transported long distance by water or wind, RS is rounded and has characteristic abrasion patterns on its grain surface, while the MS is …
