A REVIEW ON UTILISATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MANUFACTURED SAND AS FINE AGGREGATE IN CEMENT MORTAR AND CONCRETE APPLIACTIONS

Abstract

This paper reports a review on performance of cement mortar and concrete containing manufacturing sand as an alternative material to natural sand. The primary objective of this study is to understand the effect of manufactured sand on the properties of mortar and concrete. Several papers have been studied to take an overview of recent innovations in mortar containing manufactured sand with and without various mineral admixtures and this paper is aimed to review the application of mortar containing manufactured sand and its performance to set a benchmark for future research work in this field.
