Abstract

This study to investigate the possibility of utilizing sand of Shatt Al Hensher in the concrete industry, where the study of the sands of the Sedi Al Sayha  and Zlitan used in the work of concrete locally for comparison with the sand targeted in the study. The research included several tests conducted on the three sand (Shatt Al Hensher and Zliten and Sedi Al Sayha), its sieve analysis, Sand pollution analysis, chemical and metallurgical analysis, fresh concrete landing test, The results of the pressure resistance test for hardened concrete after 28 days using Zliten sand was 79.10 MPa, the Sedi Al Sayha  was 67.39 MPa, Shatt Al Hensher was 79.33 MPa rigid pressure resistance test and other relevant tests to explore a new source of sand in Libya. The results were satisfactory as the sand of Shatt Al Hensher were used for use in normal concrete at a good level.
