Read More2020.9.26 Pit Sand. The sand obtained from the dry river beds is called pit sand. It is the best kind of sand available. It has angular and rough particles thus it provides more strength to the concrete as compared to the river sand. 3. River Sand. The river sand is good quality sand. It may be contaminated with mud, silt or mica.
Read More2020.1.6 The softness of river sand allows for its usage in concrete and masonry work. River sand is also ideal for plastering, RCC, and several other block works. The main caveat with river sand is that it tends to have high silica content. Therefore, before using river sand in construction, it is advisable to check on silica content to ensure it’s ...
