How sand affects mortar
Sand characteristics affect the flow and body mortar needs in its plastic state. As the paste hardens, sand particles become cemented together and contribute to the structural properties of hardened mortar. Sand reduces shrinkage that occurs in setting and drying; thus it helps mini- mize cracks (Ref. 1).

It has been found that the workability and compressive strength of MS-included concrete were comparable with those of natural fine aggregate concrete [6], [8]. Compared to concrete containing natural sand, a lower water-to-cement ratio and a greater amount of water-reducing agent may be needed [5], [11].

Effects of foundry sand as a fine aggregate in concrete production
Highlights. Foundry sand (FS) reused as a substitute material for fine aggregate in concrete. The physical and chemical characterization of the FS was studied. FS substituted in five different substitution rates (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%). Destructive and non-destructive tests were performed on all concrete mixtures.
