“…The dune sand alone could not have a sufficiently large compactness, and thus not adequate mechanical performances. It should be noted that the considered sand, need therefore to be granularly corrected [9]. The alluvial sand (AS) which is used to make the control mortar, presents a continuous particle size distribution ranging from 0 to 5 mm.…”

This present work examines the possibility of valorizing the dune sand in the manufacture of mortars having sufficient behaviors to exploit them in the different civil engineering applications. The amelioration of the modified mortars was made by the incorporation of crushed ceramic waste. It was used to replace 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% (by weight) of the dune sand in mortar. The results obtained show that the incorporation of the used waste has a significant influence on the behavior of the mortar, in the fresh state and the hardened state. Further to this, it was also observed that the inclusion of the used waste with determined percentages can provide physical and mechanical performances exceed that given by the mortar made with noble sand, which proved its efficiency to the improvement of the different properties of the mortar.

“…Dune sand from Djelfa-Algeria was stabilized by different percentages of Portland cement to improve its mechanical performance for usage in roads construction. The results of the tests showed improvement in compressive strength, tensile strength, and compressibility of the stabilized sand [ 17 ]. Querol et al [ 23 ] and based on an experimental study performed on cement-stabilized dune sand collected from the western part of Saudi Arabia, found a strong relationship between the CBR value (as a measure of bearing capacity) and cement content.…”

“…Many researchers performed several studies for improving the mechanical and microstructural properties of dune sand used in road construction by incorporating a different binder such as cement, lime, ground granulated blast furnace slag, municipality waste, fly ash, silica fume, metakaolin, bentonite, etc. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Wahab and Asi [12] used lime and Portland cement to accelerate the curing process of dune sand collected from the Eastern part of Saudi Arabia, treated with emulsified asphalt.…”

This study focused on evaluating dune sand stabilized with lime and volcanic ash as base course materials in engineering construction. Dune sands are found in Saudi Arabia in huge quantities. Due to the high demand for construction materials, this makes them highly suitable for construction. A testing program was designed to investigate the effect of adding different percentages by weight of lime (L: 0, 2, 4, and 6%) and volcanic ash (VA: 0, 1, 3, and 5%) on the engineering properties of the stabilized mixture. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests were conducted. In addition, Raman spectroscopy and laser-scanning microscopy (LSM) tests were performed to explore the chemical characteristic, packing, and structure of the mixture. The results showed that the UCS, CBR, and the Young’s modulus (Es) of the treated dune sand increased with the increase in percentage of both stabilizers. Furthermore, LSM images of mortar blended with intermediate L-to-VA blend ratio ≈0.55 (L: 6% and VA: 5%) exhibit compact packing of sand grains, indicating strong adhesion and higher cementing value. The results of the study are promising and encourage using the treated dune sand in engineering construction even with a low percentage use of lime (2%) and volcanic ash (1–3%) as stabilizers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to implement the mathematical models to predict concretes physico-mechanical characteristics made with binary and ternary sands using a mixture design method. It is a new technique that optimizes mixtures without being obliged to do a lot of experiments. The goal is to find the law governing the responses depending on mixture composition and capable of taking into account the effect of each parameter separately and in interaction between several parameters on the characteristics studied. Design/methodology/approach Mixture design method was used for optimizing concretes characteristics and studying the effects of river sand (RS), dune sand (DS) and crushed sand (CS) in combinations of binary system and ternary on workability, the compressive and flexural strengths of concretes at 7 and 28 days. A total of 21 mixtures of concrete were prepared for this investigation. The modeling was carried out by using JMP7 statistical software. Findings Mixture design method made it possible to obtain, with good precision, the statistical models and the prediction curves of studied responses. The models have relatively good correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.70) for all studied responses. The use of binary and ternary mixtures sands improves the workability and their mechanical strengths. The obtained results proved that concrete, based on binary mixture C15, presents the maximum compressive strength (MCS) on 28 day with an improvement of around 20%, compared to reference concrete (C21). For ternary mixtures, MCS on 28 day was obtained for the mixture C10 with an improvement of around 15% compared to C21. Increase in compressive strength during the progress of hydration reactions was accompanied by an increase in the flexural strength, but in different proportions. Originality/value The partial incorporation of DS (= 40%) in the concrete formulation can provide a solution for some work in the southern regions of country. In addition, the CS is an interesting alternative source for replacing 60% of RS. The concrete formulation based on local materials is really capable of solving the economic and technical problems encountered in the building field, as well as environmental problems. Local resources therefore constitute an economic, technological and environmental alternative.
