Tremendously causing deficiency of suitable river sand in most part of the word. Due to the depletion of good quality river sand has been increased. M-sand does not contain organic and soluble compound that affects the setting time and properties of cement, thus the required strength of concrete can be maintained. The other advantage of using M-sand is, it can be dust free, the sizes of m-sand can be controlled easily.

So that it meets the required grading for the given construction. Since usage of M-sand has increased durability, higher strength, reduction in segregation, permeability, increased work ability, decreased post-concrete defect.
