ABSTRACT

The sand concrete is essentially made of sand and of cement. However, to augment his performance, diverse constituents can be incorporated (polymer, fill…). According to the idea to reinforce the contact zone between matrix (hydrates) and grains of sand, there are principally 5 possibilities. We have tried to combine these possibilities and carried out a. fabrication of thin plate with sand concrete. This material elaborated has a exellent tensil strength (20 MPa).
