dc.description.abstract |
Demand for construction sand rapidly increases due to speedy development
projects going on all over the country. Until the recent past the sand requirement
was fulfilled mainly by river sand. However due to scarcity of river sand and
restriction of river sand mining due to negative environment effects, increased
attention was received to find suitable alternatives. Inaddition to sea sand mining
possibility of producing manufacture sand from suitable rocks, recycled aggregates
and crush waste glass were carried out by many research groups.This study was
carried out to find the suitability of large scale quartzite rocks occur at Rajawaka off
Balangoda area for producing manufactured sand in the industrial scale. Sieve
analysis, cube tests and slump tests carried out showed that manufactured sand
produced from quartzite rocks of the area reach required strength for concrete. |
