Is M-sand can be used for construction?

The direct answer is M-sand can be used for construction but the slighter difference in mixing ratio can affect the quality of the mix.

What is M-sand ?

M-sand[Manufactured sand] is produced by crushing large hard stones into fine aggregates. M-sand is manufactured in factory. M-sand is used for construction purposes since there is a high demand for river sand.

Using m-sand

Concrete using M-sand attains higher compressive strength compared to concrete using river sand.
The strength of masonry wall using M-sand is higher than river sand.
Durability and workability of concrete using m-sand is higher.
The setting time of M-sand used concrete is quick compared to river sand used concrete.

Advantages of m-sand

Quality is controlled as manufactured in factory.
No slit contents can be used directly.
M-sand is economic compared river sand.
Quick setting time and yields higher strength.
Eco friendly and wastage can be reduced.

Disadvantages of m-sand

Curing must be highly concentrated.
Ratio of concrete must be done properly.
In m-sand moisture is available only in washed m-sand where as in sand moisture is trapped in between the particles.
