Sand: The Fine Aggregate | SpringerLink
The fine and coarse aggregates generally occupy 60–70 % of the concrete volume and influence markedly the concrete's properties, mixture proportions, and economy. Properties of fine aggregate (sand) affect concrete properties such as durability, strength, thermal properties, unit weight, and surface friction.

Aggregates for Concrete
The fine and coarse aggregates generally occupy 60% to 75% of the concrete volume (70% to 85% by mass) and strongly influ-ence the concrete's freshly mixed and hardened proper-ties, mixture proportions, and economy. Fine aggregates (Fig. 5-1) generally consist of natural sand or crushed stone with most particles smaller than 5 mm (0.2 in.).

Utilization of waste clay bricks as coarse and fine aggregates …
Five mixtures of LWAC were prepared with various water-binder ratio (0.2, 0.3, 0.4) and volume ratio of fine aggregate (0.35, 0.4, 0.45). The mix proportions are shown in Table 3.Due to the fact that the high water absorption of WCB could affect the workability of fresh concrete, the aggregates were treated by pre-wetting method.
