A review on effect of M sand in the properties of concrete.

The construction sector consumes a large amount of concrete. Sand accounts for approximately 35% of the volume of concrete. Manufactured sand is a by-product and it is a usable substitute for river sand. The manufactured sand obtained from hard rocks by crushing plant. It is also known as M-Sand, Crushed stone sand, Quarry dust, Rock sand, Crushed dust, and other names. The quite exhaustive research has been carried out on using manufactured sand in concrete. This research review effort focuses on the enhancement of strength of concrete by focusing on strength parameters to improve the strength characteristics of concrete and thereby improving its living standard in terms of Compressive Strength.
