الخرصانة

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

Is this some kind of concrete mixture? I don't understand how it is mixed with cement? What is it made out of?

This is from a Sudanese text.

لنقل التراب والطوب والخرصانة المخلوط بالأسمنت إلى أعلى البناية

Thanks!

Aggregate

It's usually written as "خرسانة" and could either refer to the concrete mix as a whole, or just the aggregate part of it, the aggregate is usually crushed rock or pebbles.
