Natural sand and gravel are described as loose non-cohesive granular particles of geological origin, with sand being 0.05–2 mm [ 3] and gravel 2–63 mm in size [ 4 ]. The main use for sand and gravel is in the construction industry to make cement, concrete, bricks, and mortar [ 5 ].Web

Sand is a mixture of very small pieces of different rocks or minerals. It is the same minerals from which those pieces are broken, such as granite and feldspar. Sand is gritty to touch. It is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. Sand is also formed various rocks by weathering and erosion.Web

Large gravel is called pebbles (>4 to 64 mm/0.16 to 2.5 in). Particles smaller than gravel are sand, larger particles are cobbles. Gravel and sand are used for road surfaces, and for cement and Tarmac. Mixtures of gravel and sand mixed with various crushed material, are known as aggregate in the trade.Web

The gravel layer inside the sand berm acted as a water-permeable filter and, unlike in test case 1 which consisted of only a sand berm, it slowed the erosion rate in the area behind the gravel. This can be seen as a filter for the permeable layer of gravel and it kept the sand inside the rear section unsaturated for a period of time.Web

Sand is the particle size of 0.0625–2 mm (0.002–0.08 in.). It pertains to particles that lie between silt and granules on the Wentworth scale of grain size. Sand size class ranges from −1.0 to 4.0 (phi). Silt is a particle size of 0.008–0.0625 mm (0.0003–0.002 in.). It is intermediate in size between sand and clay.Web
