- lostlogin 1mo agoThis is the difference and why smashing up rocks doesn’t get the same result. Round sand is nicer. You can probably engineer the sand somehow but it’s going to be costly.
- slashdev 1mo agoI thought it was the other way around. Too fine/round is not good for concrete, which is why desert sand is unsuitable.
- AngryData 1mo 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 1mo agoGP is probably talking about beach sand.
