      To test the sand for construction, you will need to do the following tests:
      1. Sieve Analysis Test: This test is done to determine the particle size distribution of the sand.
      2. pH Test: The pH test of the sand is important to ensure that it is suitable for building materials.
      3. Liquid Limit Test: The liquid limit test is used to determine the water content in the sand and thus, the workability of the material.
      4. Specific Gravity Test: The specific gravity test is used to measure the ratio between the weight of the sand and the weight of an equal volume of water.
      5. Moisture Content Test: The moisture content test is used to determine the water absorption capacity of the sand.
      6. Compaction Test: The compaction test is used to check the compaction of the sand when it is compacted with a certain amount of moisture.
