COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF QUALITY OF DIFFERENT SAND SAMPLES FOR COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH -A CASE STUDY GADHINGLAJ (INDIA)

As per Civil Engineering is concern, one must know the importance of good construction material. For concreting purpose, cement, sand, aggregate and water is used. Considering present scenario of material, it looks bit difficult to identify the sand for construction as the river sand is banned due to environmental impact. This project is a study of all the sand samples available at Gadhinglaj Tahsil. The available sand samples are tested for its quality and its response is assessed when added in concrete. The production cost per meter cube is calculated to decide its economy. At the same time, misunderstanding about available sand samples for its response under loading conditions is been kept in mind while going through this research work.
