—Concrete is a mix of cement, sand and aggregate. There is a large variation in the strength of aggregateused. There is scarcity of natural sand due to heavy demand in growing construction activities which force to find thesuitable substitute. The cheapest and the easiest way of getting substitute for natural sand is by crushing natural stone toget artificial sand of desired size and grade which would be free from all impurities. V.S.I. Crusher is a most economicalmachine for Crushing Stone in Cubical shape and manufacturing artificial sand. In this machine, the particles arethrown at a high speed, those particles colloid with each other and shatter in cubical particles. An Anvil ring, Shelf ring(pigeon hole ring) are provided to get the particles edges ground. For the purpose of experimentation concrete mixes aredesigned for M20 and M25 grade by 100% replacement of natural sand by artificial sand. Compressive test is conductedto study the strength of concrete using artificial sand.
