Slump test procedure with limit

Question

Accepted Answer

The slump test is a procedure used to measure the consistency of fresh concrete.

The test involves filling a slump cone with concrete and then removing the cone to observe the slump of the concrete.
The slump is the difference in height between the height of the cone and the height of the concrete after the cone is removed.
The slump test is used to determine the workability of the concrete, which is important for proper placement and compaction.
The limit for the slump depends on the type of construction and the specific requirements of the project.
For example, a high slump may be desired for easy pouring and leveling of concrete in a flat slab, while a lower slump may be required for vertical structures to prevent excessive settling.
The slump test is conducted according to ASTM C143 or EN 12350-2 standards.

Accepted Answer

Slump test is suitable for slumps of medium to low workability, range 5-260mm,

Limited to concrete less than 38mm
