Ballast.
Ballast is used for many types of building applications and consists of sharp sand and gravel.
Ballast is usually mixed with cement and water to create concrete.
Ballast
Ballast often forms the trackbed upon which railroad ties are normally laid. It is packed between, below, and around the ties and is used to bear the load to facilitate drainage of water, and also to keep down vegetation that might interfere with the track structure. In other uses, ballast tends to be used for anything that may be load bareing.
