Why River Sand is Used in Building Rather Than Beach Sand – Focus on Grain Shape

River sand is preferred in construction mainly because of the angular shape of its grains, unlike Beach Sand, which tends to be more rounded. This difference in particle shape has a direct impact on the strength and compaction.

River sand is used in building because it bonds better with Cement, resulting in more durable Concrete and Mortar.
