The mechanical properties of HSC were studied by Raman et al. (2010) during a 28-day period at a strength of 60 MPa. Up to 40% of the sand was replaced with quarry dust, and 10% of the cement was replaced with RHA. According to reports, replacing sand in HSC with quarry dust may have some detrimental effects on mechanical qualities.

Horse Arena Sand River Sands offers two options for arena or track sand: C38 and RW Coarse. RW Coarse is harvested from a nearby quarry. They are cleaned sands with high silica content for durability and hardness. Both sands also provide good drainage, even when covered and exposed to the elements, and have very little clay content to limit dust.
