You can probably engineer the sand somehow but it’s going to be costly.
- slashdev 19d agoI thought it was the other way around. Too fine/round is not good for concrete, which is why desert sand is unsuitable.
- AngryData 19d agoYes, if you want a good stable foundation for any structural base you want your medium to be sharp and irregular so it locks together. Round material, be it sand or rocks, can be pushed around more like a liquid. Sharp and irregular get tangled together and acts more like one solid object.
- Exoristos 19d agoGP is probably talking about beach sand.
