The authors have investigated the collapse-ability of Tokitu Silica Sand combined with CO
2 process on heating, especially the effects of temperature and grain size. Test pieces were heated up to 800 and 1300°C and air cooled.
After air cooling, test pieces were washed, screened and milled with laboratory sandmill. Heated grains were crushed by dead load.
The results obtained are summerized as follows.
1) The fine grains are more stable than the coarse grains on heating.
2) There are no remarkble differences between collapse amounts of CO
2 process silica sands and bentonite sillica sands on heating at 800°C., But the former is smaller than the latter on heating 1300°C., especially in coarse sands.
3) There is irregularity in 65 mesh silica sand. This is due to the character of sand we have used.
4) The amounts of sintered sand on heating are greater than bentonite silica sands.
5) Heated sands have the tendency of brittleness and coarse grains crushed more easily than the fine ones by mechanical forces.
