INTRODUCTION
Concrete is a composite
material composed of
cement, aggregates,
water mixed to obtain
desirable physical
property of finished
product.
Availability of raw
materials is less when
compare to demand.
PROBLEM DEFINATION
To meet the requirement of globalization.
Effect on ground water table.
Limited supply.
Uneconomical.
Vaastu.
Damage to pavement surface.
Need for alternative.
MSand comes into lime ligtht.

What is M-Sand ????
M-Sand is crushed
aggregate produced
from hard granite stone,
limestone, etc which is
cubically shaped with
grounded edges, washed
and graded with
consistency to be used
as a substitute of river
sand.
M-Sand has been
produced by variety of
crushing equipment.
Why M-Sand ???
Economical.
Provides better bonding.
High strength.
No silt and clay content.
Mitigating honey comb, bleeding and voids
problem.
