MoreBut not all sand is the same as some have rocks and impurities that make them less resistant and stable for use in construction. The main types of sand used in construction range from concrete sand to pit sand, natural or river sand, manufactured sand (M-sand), utility sand, and fill sand. These types of sands have unique properties that make ...
