Natural sand deposits can sometimes be found not too far from the construction site, for example in stream beds, dried-up lake or stream areas or quarries, but well-graded sands seldom occur naturally. In many cases, you will have to sift the sand through a 0.2 mm mesh screen to eliminate the finest particles.

Sand supports infrastructure and city growth and is being increasingly used throughout the world. The sand used in construction is not just any sand--it's a gritty type of water-swept sand found in rivers, lakes, and beaches. However, the world is running low on sand. While sand is sourced naturally, it is treated as a common-pool resource.

Natural gravel and sand are usually dug or dredged from a pit, river, lake, or seabed. Crushed aggregate is produced by crushing quarry rock, boulders, cobbles, or large-size gravel. Recycled concrete is a viable source of aggregate and has been satisfactorily used in granular subbases, soil-cement, and in new concrete.

1.Size of fine aggregates: The largest size that falls under the limit of the exact set is 4.75 mm. Using the largest size will give more dense concrete, but a mixture of all sizes is more desirable and more economical.
