First, here are some ✅ Characteristics of Good Sharp Sand: 1⃣Grain Size & Texture: - Angular and coarse grains (not round or smooth). - Gritty to the touch — not fine like beach sand or dusty. 2⃣Cleanliness: - Should be free from clay, silt, salt, and organic matter (e.g., roots, leaves). - A dirty or salty sand weakens concrete and mortar and causes corrosion in steel reinforcement. 3⃣ Color: - Usually light brown or reddish-brown (indicating low clay content). - Avoid very white or gray sand — may contain high salt or be beach sand, which is not suitable without treatment. _Stay With Me as i would share some simple testson sharp sand to determine the quality._
