Natural Mixture of Bank Sand and Gravel

Naturally mixed bank sand and gravel are sometimes found in the right

proportions for making concrete. Generally, however, there is far too

much sand for the gravel, and great care should be exercised in using

this class of material. Unless the mixture runs very even throughout

the bank, and is found to be made up of one part sand to two parts

gravel, it is better to screen the sand out of the gravel and prepare

the materials in the usual way.

Herewith is a table showing the quantities for a natural mixture of

bank sand and gravel. The quantities can be found in the same way as in

Table I, on page 11.
