A COMPARISON OF QUARTZ SANDS WITH DIFFERENT MINERALOGY AND THEIR GRIDING DERIVATIONS
Abstract
Griding sand is specifically used to treat clays that tend to swell. Each of the sands has its unique physical properties. For that reason, it is necessary to determine the engineering properties of the sand used. In this study, four types of sand with different mineralogy were examined. After determining the engineering properties of these sands, three different specimens per sample, with different size distributions, were obtained by grinding them up to the size of clay and silt. As a result, it was determined that the twelve sand samples consisted of poorly sorted sand and the physical properties of the sands with different mineralogy were different to each other. The largest difference in derivatives was found in Type 1 sand of magmatic origin. It was observed that the original sand used in all experimental results gave higher values than the finer grained derivative samples. As a result, the engineering properties of the sands changed with the reduction in grain sizes. In addition, it was determined that the derivatives obtained by grinding the sand with different mineralogy exhibit different behaviors.
