[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1681964, member: 18945"] Beach/sea sand is also too rounded and doesn't have the compressibility that river sand does. Irregular shapes always work better for construction purposes compared to round shapes. (ever made a driveway or foot path out of pea gravel? It's not nearly as stable and compressed as crushed limestone.) Salt content is another issue. Salt attracts moisture which is not an attractive issue for construction concrete.
