What is slump test in concrete

Question

Accepted Answer

The slump test is a measure of the consistency and workability of fresh concrete.

The slump test is performed by filling a standard slump cone with freshly mixed concrete and then removing the cone to see how much the concrete slumps or settles.
The amount of slump is an indication of the water content and workability of the concrete.
A higher slump indicates a more fluid and workable concrete, while a lower slump indicates a stiffer and less workable concrete.
The slump test is commonly used in construction to ensure that the concrete mix has the desired consistency for proper placement and compaction.
For example, a slump test may be performed on a concrete mix for a foundation to ensure that it can be easily poured and spread into the formwork.
