Manufactured sand, which is obtained by crushing the rock, is emerging as a viable alternative to river sand. This material is in use for quite some time in developed countries. The use of this sand (also called artificial sand, M-Sand, Robo Sand etc.,) is picking up in India in major cities. Use of scientifically produced Manufactured Sand as ...

Three different coastal environments have been considered as case studies. The first area is located in the Portuguese continental nearshore at the European western coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

The current paper presents a case study, by which to develop an artificial gravel surface to protect the Mogao Grottoes from windblown sand problems. The process is completed by conducting a series of in situ measurements of the sand flow over both the original gobi land and several different artificial gravel sites.

The optimum percentage replacement of sand with fine glass aggregate was determined to be 20%. By using low-cost and environmental friendly building materials from industrial waste, a sustainable concrete can be produced. Keywords – Artificial sand, waste glass powder, fine aggregate replacement, compressive strength, flexural strength.

Beach nourishment — the addition of sand to increase the width or sand volume of the beach — is a widespread coastal management technique to counteract …

Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the artificial core structure and some photographs of making processes of the core. For the sand layer, we used Toyoura Silica Sand with an average diameter of 220 μm. The sand was washed and filtered to remove particles smaller than 75 μm. This pre-washed sand was wetted up to a water content of …

As the ratio of artificial sand increases, the external shrinkage volume increases. The shrinkage occurs on the top surface, and the central part is the deepest. The 1 cm 3 of shrinkage volume is about 0.006% of the test piece shape. For example, in the case of 100% artificial sand, the shrinkage volume of 140 cm 3 is 0.8

The collective outcomes of the case study findings are considered useful to both academics and practitioners to further our understanding of appropriate methods of effective sports pitch monitoring for quality and performance and the expected early-life in service changes. ... 40 mm. The sand infill was installed to a depth of approximately 11 ...

stakeholder workshops (June to September 2008), which aimed to interrogate the case study findings in a broader geographical context. While the results of case studies are rooted in the specificities of a given locality, the combined approach allowed a series of broader conclusions to be drawn. The selection of case study areas was designed to ...

The rapid erosion in most coastlines is considered a major problem not only in Egypt, but also around the world. The main causes are due to anthropogenic activities and/or coastal hydrodynamics. The coastal zone suffers from sedimentation, accretion, and pollution problems as well as the side effect of climate change. The climate change will …

This was expected since only three beaches have artificial sand and all of them scored below 0.96 in the kurtosis …

Artificial cemented sand test samples were prepared by using ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the cementing agent. Through uniaxial compression tests and consolidated drained triaxial compression tests, the stress-strain curves of the artificial cemented sand with different cementing agent contents (0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.08) …

This paper presents a case study of an artificial mountain construction in Zhengzhou, China. Two roads under the designed artificial mountain had to be transformed into tunnels to make sure the normal operation of traffic. In this project, isolation piles were installed to control the horizontal displacement of the tunnels. To evaluate the …

A study by Rice University researchers published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces found that graphene derived from metallurgical coke, a coal-based product, could serve not only as a reinforcing additive in cement but also as a replacement for sand in concrete. "This could have a major impact on one of the biggest industries in ...

The experimental station of El Bustan extension area is located in the western Nile Delta region, about 150 km Northwest of Cairo. It lies between the 30° 32′ 20″ and 30° 32′ 35″ N and between the 30° 21′ 35″ and 30° 21′ 05″ E, as shown in Fig. 1.The main source of water for the site is surface water from a branch canal taking from El Bustan …

Fig. 2 relates the referenced case studies to reef activity. Reef design is variable in terms of material used, area covered, volume and complexity. The case studies have attempted to reflect the use of material as identified in the main literature review (see Table 1). Fig. 3 relates the referenced case studies to reef material. The concrete ...

The Construction Industry started using the Manufactured Sand (M-Sand) to full degree as substitute; reduce the impacts on environment by not using the natural sand. This paper deals with the case study of Illegal sand mining in Tamil Nadu, and provides the alternate solution to use M-sand, by partial/ full replacement of natural sand by reviews.

Harbour development along the low-lying coastline of northern France necessitated the construction of a seaport protruding into the sea. The extension of the port of Dunkirk resulted in the creation of an artificial shoreline consisting of a sea dike fronted by a beach, connected to a jetty protecting the seaport access. This study illustrates …
