Dear Rasool
    
The sand particle should be coarser and have minimum silt contents. The silt contents should not be more than 4%. 

The quality of the sand has more impact on the strength of the structure in spite of the quantity of the cement used.
1) If there is more silt in coarse sand, the strength of cement mortar is reduced from 1 % to 30%.
2) If you take best quality coarse sand, it will give maximum strength.
WASH the sand before use so that silt contents should be reduced, the problem of cracks is mainly due to silt contents.

Dear Rasool
             The silt contents exactly calculated in lab with the help of measuring cylinder.How ever you can see the silt contents in glass pot. Put some quantity of sand in the glass and add water to a higher level than sand. Now stir the mixture of sand and water and after stiring or shaken  it will be left to settle. After some time you will see the layer of silt on the top of the sand which will give you the  silt contents quantity.

I guess. if "Robo Sand" (crusher dust) is made of stone particle, then it must be equally strong. I have no proof, and I have never used robo sand but I think It can be used in place of river sand.

       The sand for concrete/ flooring should have fine ness modulus not less than 2.4 and silt contents should be less than 4%.
