Slump Test of Concrete-Cone Test Procedure | Workability of Concrete Slump test procedure is to determine the workability of concrete. One of the major problems that you had faced in your field work is concrete compaction during mixing.After mix design, you may have doubt, is this design will be ok? Yes, your design willl be ok in terms of strenght point of view of concrete.But the main problem arises when the mixing of fresh concrete, the compaction of fresh concrete will be very tough.In this situation, you can add some plasticizers without affecting your water-cement ratio or cement-aggregate ratio. Before adding plasticizers or superplasticizers to your fresh concrete, you need to check the workability of your concrete.The slump test is used for checking the workability of concrete.Let us check how can we do slump test of fresh concrete. Apparatus used for cone test procedure 1)Measuring scale 2)Tamping rod 3)Base plate 4)Nonporous base plate 5)Mould for slump test. ...
