Abstract The concrete is the material generally used
in the construction industry. The natural aggregates are the
essential materials used in the concrete, but it is observed
that there is a shortage of these materials. Therefore, the
cost of the material and eventually the construction cost go
on increasing across the globe. The manufactured sand i.e.
m-sand is a material which can replace the natural fine
aggregates if used in proper proportion. Also, the m-sand
can be produced in a good amount so that the construction
cost is also not affected. In the present work, manufactured
sand concrete is studied for the durability properties. Other
materials like zinc oxide are also used in the concrete by
weight of the cement. The partial replacement of river sand
by m-sand is carried out in the percentage varying from
25% to 100%. The tests for the durability which involve
water permeability test, acid attack test, sea water test and
sulphate attack test have been carried out for the concrete.
When the river sand is replaced by m-sand with 50% then
the results for the durability obtained hold good results.
Keywords M-Sand, River Sand, Alccofine, Zinc
Oxide and Acid Attack Test
1. Introduction
1.1. General
The concrete is the material which is normally used in
the construction sector. Nowadays, it is the usual practice
of engineers to use the manufactured sand in the concrete
as an alternative material. There are different materials
available which can be utilized for the natural sand. The
metakaolin as well as the Rice husk ash was used so that
the cement was replaced in the concrete [1]. The
phenomenon related to the freezing and thawing was
observed and it was found that the degradation was
observed and the concrete was made up with the ground
blast furnace slag [2]. When the concrete was mixed with
the waste foundry sand then it observed that the concrete
compressive and tensile strength get reduced up to a certain
extent [3]. Sludge obtained from the treatment of the
drinking water has been recycled to obtain the blocks of the
concrete having lesser strength and can be used in the
construction site [4]. The production of the material with
low carbon content and the concrete produced from the
composite of Portland as well as the cement with
composites have been studied for the durability property
[5]. The composite walls usually involve of the concrete
filled steel tube columns which are surrounded near to the
boundary element. The stirrups are also provided so that
the ring is obtained in continuous manner [6]. The
deflection in the beam obtained is more than the allowable
limit when there is not enough bond exists for the edge of
steel and fibre reinforced polymer concrete; the design
obtained is also not economical [7].
1.2. Durability
To develop the concrete, different wastes from the
industry have been used and the wastes have been utilized
