The production of crushed sand is accompanied by the production of fine particles. The proportion of these fine particles varies from one sand to another. The current publications of standards for reference in the construction industry have been adapted by increasing the limit of fine particles in crushed sand, but this is insufficient because sands with high rate of fine particles are not used in the industry. The principal objective of this study is to investigate the influence of crushed sands with different mineralogical natures (limestone and siliceous) and with varying proportions of fine particles on the evolution of the modulus of deformability and of longitudinal and transverse Elasto-instantaneous deformations. The experimental results showed that the longitudinal and transverse Elasto-instantaneous deformations and the modulus of deformability varied according to the nature of the sands (river sand, quarry sand, dune sand) and according to the fine content of the sands. Logarithmic regressions showed an accurate fit for the correlation coefficient R2. The test results demonstrated that deformations are influenced by sand type and indicated an optimal of 10% of fine particles. Empirical equations can predict the modulus of deformability from prismatic concretes.
