Concrete sand is mainly used for asphalt and concrete applications and is made into actual concrete by mixing it with cement and water. Once mixed, it is ready to be poured and smoothened before any finishing touches are applied. Asphalt is made in pretty much the same way but is heated to remove excess moisture before being mixed with crushed ...

The sand has a large mud content, the concrete requires a large amount of water, the plasticity is poor, the shrinkage increases, the concrete strength decreases, and the structure is easy to crack. Therefore, it is necessary to control the mud content of sand ≤ 3% (C30~C50), and the mud content of high-strength concrete requires higher.
