what is mean by bulking of sand?

Answer Posted / smiley,hamy,deen,goyads

The increase in the volume of sand due to the presence of moisture is known as bulking of sand. This is due to the fact that moisture forms a film of water around the sand particles and this results in an increase in the volume of sand. The extent of bulking depends on the grading of sand.
