Note: In accordance with RTA R11 and AS/NZS 3725 Section 9.2.3.2, the grading result indicates aggregate is just outside the limits for the 0.60mm sieve. This will need to be confirmed with the

superintendant before approval for use. AS3725 clause 9.2.2.2 provides, " Select fill with the fraction passing the 0.6mm sieve not conforming to the above limits may be used in the bed & haunch zones

provided that - a) it can be demonstrated that the required degree of compaction can be attained in the field and the reduction to the bedding factor given in Clause 9.3.2 is applied; or b) it is cement

stabilized." The sand is slightly out on the 0.300mm sieve in the WSA – 350 & likewise would need acknowledgement & approval by the projects superintendent before use.

and rock for engineering purposes part 1; Concrete aggregates

(Appendix B), the AS1141 Standard Guide for the Method for sampling

Identification Medium to fine quartz sand

Description

The sample consisted of light brown, quartz-rich, free flowing clean sand.

Plate 1: A sub sample of supplied screened fine dune sand.

In a crude, dry sieving test of a small subsample these results were tabulated;

Sieve Size Wt % of sample

Coarse (>1.18mm) <0.1%

Medium (>0.3mm) 83.0%

Fine (>0.075mm) 17.0%

Silt (<0.075mm) <0.1%

Clasts range up to about 1 mm. The coarse fraction consists mostly of plant fragments; a trace

of plant material was also noted in the medium fraction. The sand consists largely of small

rounded quartz grains. There are no apparent deleterious grain coatings.

A sub-sample was swirled in water, settling very quickly, producing a very slight turbidity which

also cleared rapidly, indicating the presence of traces of clay and silt.

Plate 2: Sieved splits of the sand sample. Note the traces of plant matter in coarse fraction and

traces of clay in ultrafine fraction.

A thin section was prepared for microscopic examination in transmitted polarized light. A count

of 100 widely spaced points falling within sectioned sand clasts gave the following composition:

76% quartz as single, free, unstrained to mildly strained grains (68%) or as

simple composite crystalline aggregates of quartz grains (8%)

17% quartz as moderately strained simple or crystalline composite grains

<1% quartzite

2% vein quartz

3% feldspar (plagioclase and K-feldspar)

<1% other mineral grains (including zircon, rutile, epidote and tourmaline)

1% lithic clasts of micro-granite (1% quartz)

1% lithic clasts of acid volcanic

<1% lithic clasts of intermediate volcanic

<1% lithic clasts of meta-arenite

<1% secondary iron

A simultaneous count of total free silica content yielded 96%, comprising mostly free quartz

grains, and 3% simple quartz locked within rock fragments (vein quartz and other lithic clasts).

In thin section the sand is seen to consist largely of quartz in the form of unstrained to mildly

strained free quartz grains (68%) and less abundant rounded clasts of simple crystalline

composites (8%) of two or more unstrained to mildly strained quartz grains. Simple or

polycrystalline grains of moderately strained quartz amount to about 17%. Other siliceous clasts

include <1% quartzite and 2% vein quartz (consisting of moderately to highly-strained quartz).

About 3% feldspar fragments were noted.

Less than 1% of the sand consists of other mineral grains (including heavy minerals of

tourmaline, rutile, epidote and zircon).

Around 1% of acid volcanic fragments and 1% microgranite were noted in the sample with <1%

lithic fragments of intermediate volcanic and meta-arenite fragments. The quartz grains and

lithic clasts are observed to carry secondary iron within internal fractures and in indents.

An extensive soft, weak and deleterious mineral content was performed according to

AS1141.26, using three slides with 600 counts per slide. The average soft, weak mineral content

was seen to be 2.1%, which consist of 1.2% earth secondary iron oxide in indents and within

clasts, 0.3% sericite in plagioclase, sandstone and altered clasts and 0.6% as clay.

Comments and Interpretations

The submitted screened fine dune sand sample (labelled S17-6129) from Macka’s Sand may be

regarded as clean, free flowing, medium to fine quartz sand, and is fairly narrowly graded.

The total free silica content (or total quartz content) is 96%, comprising 93% as free quartz

grains, and 3% simple quartz locked within rock fragments (vein quartz and other lithic clasts).

It also carries 2.1% soft, weak minerals essentially enclosed in robust grains and clasts.

January, 2018 Vc180101 5 of 5 The material contained within this report may not be quoted other than in full. Extracts may be used only with

expressed prior written approval of Geochempet Services.

Being composed almost entirely of hard, strong, durable, rounded siliceous mineral grains and

lithic clasts, the sand is interpreted to be physically suitable for use in concrete.

In relation to potential for alkali-silica reactivity in concrete it is noted that the sand carries

about 17% of moderately strained quartz (as free grains and crystalline composite grains and

in quartzite), 2% of moderately to high strained quartz (within vein quartz) and <1% of finely

microcrystalline quartz (within clasts of acid volcanic/tuffaceous rock). Thus, the sand as a

whole is predicted to have potential for mild and/or slow deleterious alkali-silica

reactivity in concrete. Accordingly, it is recommended that appropriate precautions be taken

in mix and engineering design.

Guidance on appropriate precautions can be obtained from the 2015 joint publication of the

Cement and Concrete Association of Australia and Standards Australia, entitled Alkali

Aggregate Reaction - Guidelines on Minimising the Risk of Damage to Concrete Structures in

Australia.

The supplied sand sample is predicted to be suitable for use as fine concrete sand.

Free Silica Content

The free silica content is 96%.

Discussion

It is noted that strictly AS 1141.26 is intended for use with basic igneous rocks.

Therefore, the requested method is not directly applicable to the sample supplied.

However, the general intent of the method is to determine the secondary minerals

because they are usually soft, weak or non-durable. Accordingly the methods of AS

1141.26 have been modified (through a difficult count across thin sections of sand) to

generate the results tabulated below.

*The determination has been made using a Test Method essentially similar to that described in AS 1141.26.

Section A contained numerous sand grains

Section B contained numerous sand grains

Section C contained numerous sand grains

The supplied screened fine dune sand sample is considered to be quartz sand which

may be described broadly for engineering purposes as fine to medium quartz sand.

The sand carries a small amount of soft weak and deleterious minerals within

weathered lithic clasts and in indents on grain surfaces. Traces of free soft, weak

clasts are also noted. The total soft/weak mineral count is 2.1% and is essentially

enclosed in robust clasts and grains.
