·As sand is an important construction material it is always desirable to use the good quality sand To judge the quality of the available sand one must know the properties of good using sand in a project these desirable properties must be Sand is a mixture of small grains of rock and granular materials which is mainly
·The present work concerns the determination of the geological setting of a metamorphic rock quarry in operation for the production of aggregates and the valorization of the drilling waste as a cement additive The aim is to identify the parameters that determine the composition of the geomaterial employed highlight that composition and investigate
Mapping out and delineating the various elements of the Lewisian Gneiss Complex is difficult even in well exposed ground Hence the overall gneiss is generally represented on maps as a single unit but discrete elements can be mapped out in places Figure As in many structurally and metamorphically complex terrains evidence of the

4 ·How To Check Quality Of Sand In Field There are some useful tests that can be done in the field for checking the quality of sand used for construction The following tests may be performed to determine the quality of sand Field Test To Check Sand Quality 1 Take a glass and add some water in it 2 Add a few amount of sand in the glass
·Groundwater exploration in crystalline basement aquifers such as the Houtriver gneiss formation in the Limpopo province of South Africa is often described as complex This is because groundwater availability in such aquifers is largely a consequence of the interaction of several processes related to recharge underlying geological features

·The effect of thermal damage on the physical and mechanical properties of gneiss has been experimentally investigated The cylindrical samples prepared from this rock were gradually heated to a
·Gneiss Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock meaning that it has been subjected to higher temperatures and pressures than is formed by the metamorphosis of granite or sedimentary rock Gneiss displays distinct foliation representing alternating layers composed of different unlike slate and
·How to ensure youhave good quality sand Most people want to know the organism load as they are worried about mastitis and some labs perform this While knowing the number seems important it doesn t provide a full picture Organism load is often reported as colony forming units CFU or organisms per gram of bedding Since sand is
·Good quality of sand should have less amount of clay There are many ways in checking the quality of sand Below are some ways on how to check the presence of excessive clay Get a glass of water and add some sand to it Shake it hard and allow the sand to settle Then check if there will be a visible layer that will be formed on the sand
·The gradation of the crushed stone mixture is composed of fine aggregate limestone mixed with abandoned tunnel gneiss and the related characteristics are studied
