This book presents the features of manufactured sand (MS) and its application in concrete as the fine aggregate. It first introduces the production and technical properties of manufactured sand and demonstrates the properties of concrete, followed by the mix proportioning of concrete with manufactured sand. It also focuses on the applications of manufactured sand in several practical engineering projects using self-compacting concrete (SCC), rubble-filled SCC, and high-performance concrete with manufactured sand for special purposes. This book is useful and attractive to a wide readership in the field of materials science, civil engineering, and related fields.
