I ndian St andardSPECIFICATION FORSAND FOR MASONRY MORTARS( Fi rst l v i si on0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the IndianStandards Institution on 30 September 1980, after the draft finalized bythe Building Construction Practices Sectional Committee had beenapproved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.0.2 This standard was first published in 1965. The revision has beenprepared in the light of experience gained in the use of the standardduring course of these years.: A number of modifications in the provisionsof the standard have been made, important among which is the particlesize grading of sand for masonry work. The grading has been made morepracticable by specifying only one limit of grading for both reinforcedand unreinforced masonry work.

0.2.1 The performance of masonry mortars is characterised by propertieslike strength, volume change, water retentivity, workability, etc. The role ofsand in the mortar is to obtain these properties in the mortar to the bestextent as would be possible with the amount of binder materials, such ascement, lime, etc, that are used in the mortar. It is not widely apprecia-ted that sand for use in masonry mortar has got certain essential require-ments to satisfy, namely, freedom from detrimental impurities andparticle size distribution within specific limits of grading. Quite often sandis specified naming the localities from which it should be procured andprobably it is the experience in many places that sands so available givesatisfactory performance in normal construction work. While it would notbe practicable often to change existing practice completely, there is roomfor improvement in the light of research and some of the basic require-ments for sand to serve as an ingredient in masonry mortar can bespecified, by choosing, if need be, better sources of supply and also byproper blending of sands from different sources. This standard specifiesthe basic requirements for sand for use in masonry mortars.0.3 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given toco-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in different


5/10

IS t 2116 - 1980countries in addition to relating it to the practices in this field inthe country.0.4 This standard contains clause 7 which requires the supplier to furnishsome technical information at the request of the purchaser.0.5 For the purpose of ciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied xX1, the final value, observed or calculated, express-ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance withIS : Z-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the roundedoff value should be the same as that of the specified value in thisstandard.

1. SCOPE1.1 This standard covers the requirements of naturally occurring sands,crushed stone sands and crushed gravel sands used in mortars forconstruction of masonry. .2. TERMINOLOGY2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply.2.1 Sand - A fine aggregate which is either natural sand or crushedstone sand or crushed gravel sand.2.2 Natural Sand - A fine aggregate produced by the natural disinte-gration of rock and which has been deposited by streams or glacialagencies.2.3 Crushed Stone Sand and Crushed Gravel Sand - A fine aggre-gate produced by crushing stone or natural gravel.3. QUALITY OF SAND3.1 General - The sand shall consist of natural sand, crushed stone sandor crushed gravel sand or a combination of any of these. The sand shallbe hard, durable, clean and free from adherent coatings and organicmatter and shall not contain the amount of clay, silt and fine dust morethan specified under 3.3 (a).3.2 Deleterious Material - The sand shall not contain any harmfulimpurities such as iron pyrites, alkalis, salts, coal or other organicimpurities, mica, shale or similar laminated materials, soft fragments, seashells in such form or in such quantities as to affect adverseIy the harden-ing, strength or durability of the mortar.3.3 Limits of Deleterious Material - Unless found satisfactory as aresult of further tests as may be specified by the engineer-in-charge, orunless evidence of such performance is offered which is satisfactory to him,

the maximum quantities of clay, fine silt, fine dust and organic impuritiesin the sand shall not exceed the following limits:a) Clay, fine silt and fine dust when determined in accordance with

IS : 2386 Part II )-1963*.1) In natural sand or crushed gravel Not more than 5 percentsand by mass2) In crushed stone sand Not more than 5 percentby mass

b) Organic impurities when determined Colour of the liquid shall. accordanceTPart II )-1963* with IS : 2386 be lighter than thatindicated by the stan-dard solution specifiedygIf*: 2386 Part II )-

NOTE In particular cases, crushed stone sand with even higher proportionsof fine dust than specified above may be satisfactory and the limit so permitted maybe subject to the agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.4. GRADING OF SAND4.1 The particle size grading of sand for use in mortars shall be withinthe limits as specified in Table 1.

SAMPLING AND TESTING5.1 Sampling - The method of sampling shall be in accordance withIS : 2430-1969*. The amount of material required for each test shall beas specified in relevant parts of IS : 2386-1963t..5.2 Testing - Any test which the purchaser or his representative mayrequire in connection with this standard shall be carried out in accordancewith the relevant parts of IS : 2386-1963t. Unless otherwise stated in theenquiry or order, duplicate tests shall be made to all cases and the resultsof both tests reported.

5.2.1 If further confirmation as to the satisfactory nature of thematerial is required, compressive test on cement mortar cubes ( 1 : 6 )may be made in accordance with IS : 2250-1981: using the suppliedmaterial in place of standard sand and the strength value so obtainedshall be compared with that of another mortar made with a sandof acceptable and comparable quality.6. SUPPLIERS CERTIFICATE AND COST OF TESTS6.1 The supplier shall satisfy himself that the material supplied conformsto the requirements of this standard and, if requested, shall furnish acertificate to this effect to the purchaser or his representative.6.2 If the purchaser or his representative requires independent tests to bemade, the sample for such tests shall be taken before or immediately afterdelivery, at the option of the purchaser or his representative, and the testsshall be carried out in accordance with this standard and on the writteninstructions of the purchaser or his representative.6.3 The supplier shall supply, free of charge, the material requiredfor tests.
