The silt content from the field penetration test is within the limit of 8% specified in BS 882 (1975). From the average crushing value test carried out on Quarry sand, a value of 34.5% was obtained. This is higher than the value obtained by Olaoye and Kamang (1999) for …

The level of silt and clay content ranged from 42% to 3.3% for while organic impurities ranged from 0.029 to 0.738 photometric ohms for the unwashed sand samples. With regard to compressive strength, 38% of the concrete cubes made from sand with varying sand impurities failed to meet the design strength of 25 Mpa at the age of 28 days. A ...

Percentage of Silt Content = (V1/V2) x 100. V1 – Volume of the silt layer. V2 – Volume of the sand layer. For example, for a given sand sample, if V1 comes out to be 9 and V2 is 130, the % silt content would be 6.9 %. The permissible value of silt content in Sand is 8%. Hence the sand sample is ok and can be used for construction purposes.

Always check sand for the silt, clay, gravel, moisture, and other harmful materials (coal, Salt, Mica) that can affect structural member strength and generate avoidable rework. Good quality sand contains particle size between 150 microns to 4.75mm. Particles below 150 microns are termed as silt. It is preferable to perform a silt content test ...

In this article, we will discuss the silt content test. 1. Introduction Silt content is a fine material that is below 150 microns. Silt content is unstable in the presence of water. The maximum amount of silt not only decreases the bonding of cement and fine aggregates but also heavily affects the strength and durability of the mortar. 2.

The test is performed to determine the percentage of the silt present in the sand is known as the Silt content test. Silt is a fine material whose size is less than 150 micron. As their content in the sand is not good, that's why we need to find the silt content in the sand.

The silt content results of river sand and crushed glass were found to be 2.24% and 5.58% respectively. It is recommended to wash the sand or reject if the silt content exceeds 6% (BS 812: Part 1: 1975), hence the results were satisfactory within the limit required. Sieve analysis of river sand, crushed glass and ballast were done

Sand silt content test. At construction site we do silt content test of sand to determine their percentage. The size of fine material less than 150 micron comes under silt categories. If silt in sand is beyond permissible limit, it effects strength of cement. it reduces strength of cement; durability of structure also decreases.

Silt clay content Test In accordance to BS 812 (16 and 18), 1 litre measuring cylinder washed in each case, cleaned and dried. 50ml of a 1% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution was then poured into the 250ml BS measuring cylinder. Sand is then added to reach the 100ml mark and more solution of the salt added, and the cylinder filled up to the

comply with requirements of BS 882, which gives test for suitable aggregate (5). The maximum percentage clay/silt of content of sand for which the target compressive concrete strength will not be less than 31.75N/mm2 is 3.4%. (1). For sand with percentage clay/silt contents of 5% and 10% will produce concrete with compressive strengths of 30.2N/mm2
