Concrete, River sand, Characteristics, Compressive strength

Concrete is a widely utilized construction material in contemporary building structures It is formed by 

combining portland cement water sand and gravel The strength of concrete is inversely proportional to 

the FAS value meaning that higher FAS values indicate lower concrete quality The motivation behind 

this research stems from the limited information available regarding Pangian river sand The objective of 

this study is to assess the characteristics of Pangian river sand and determine the compressive strength of 

high quality concrete The concrete specimens used in this investigation were cylindrical in shape with a 

diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm resulting in a total of 6 test objects The average slump height 

achieved for concrete with a quality of 24 Mpa and FAS of 0 50 was 86 6 mm while for concrete with a 

quality of 29 Mpa and FAS of 0 45 the average slump height was 88 mm Furthermore the average 

compressive strength of the concrete samples was determined For concrete with a quality of 24 Mpa and 

FAS of 0 50 the average compressive strength was 25 6 Mpa representing a 6 6 increase from the 

planned quality Similarly for concrete with a quality of 29 Mpa and FAS of 0 45 the average 

compressive strength was 31 4 Mpa indicating an 8 275 increase from the planned quality 

Consequently it can be inferred that Pangian river sand can be effectively employed as a fine aggregate 

material in concrete mixtures
