Manufactured and crushed sands will usually have lower SE values than clean natural sands due to the dust of fracture created during the crushing process. Particle density and water absorption, which are functions of the mineralogical composition of the aggregate, were determined according to BS EN 1097-6:2000.

water absorption for the sand used was 1.4% which is below the specification limit of 2%. This explains that, much of the water used for mixing the concrete will be absorbed by the aggregate to keep it at the saturated surface dry state and the rest for mixing the concrete and hydration of cement.

However, it becomes less suitable for crushed fine aggregates in which the angular shape, rough surface and content of material finer than 75 µm cause more contact points among particles. Also, according to the standard, a low reproducibility of the test when the aggregate has water absorption capacity higher than 1% is to be expected.

The water absorption test uses to find the water holding capacity of the aggregates. The water is absorbed by the aggregates or stones in their pores known as water absorption. Usually, water absorption gives an idea about the strength of the aggregates. That aggregate has more water absorption is usually unsuitable for the construction.

Therefore the absorption value is the amount of water which the aggregates are able to hold. The absorption value can be ascertained using the water absorption test described in BS EN 1097-6 and should generally be less than 2% in order to prevent large variations of water in the concrete mix during production.

When sand comes in contact with water, its volume increases due to the presence of moisture. This phenomenon of sand is called the bulking of sand. When sand gets contact with water, a thin film of water is formed around the sand particle that makes them get apart from each other due to the pushing force of surface tension resulting in the increase in the volume of sand.
