Sand is an important construction material used mainly in concrete, mortar and plaster. Good sand should be pure silica, free of contaminants. It is used to make glasses, fill gaps in brick roads, and strengthen concrete mixtures.

When combining sands, the combined fineness modulus can be calculated using a weighted average that considers the amount and individual finenes
