Advantages
- Robo sand has a greater fineness modulus index as compared to river sand.
- It has better abrasion resistance because robo sand is free from silt and clay.
- It has lower permeability.
- Higher unit weights
- It is highly environmental friendly because it reduces sand mining from the river
- Robo sand has good workability of concrete.
- It has higher strength and greater durability
Disadvantages
- Compared to natural sand, it is higher in price.
- More water and cement is required due to its smooth and angular texture to achieve appropriate workability.
- More amount of micro-fine articles are present that adversely affect on strength and workability of concrete.
Application
Robo sand or manufactured sand tend to be used in mixtures in areas where natural sand is not available or not cost effective.
