Workability Test ( W/C ratio= 0.45, 0.5, 0.55) || Slump Cone test || Industrial Training 《Day-4》

Concrete slump test is carried out from batch to batch to check the uniform quality of concrete during construction. The slump test is the simplest workability test for concrete, involves low cost and provides immediate results. Generally concrete slump value is used to find the workability, which indicates water-cement ratio, but there are various factors including properties of materials, mixing methods, dosage, admixtures etc. also affect the concrete slump value. 1. Very low workability: slump value 0-25mm or 0-1 inch 2. Low workability: slump value 25-50mm or 1-2 inch 3. Medium workability: slump value 50-100mm or 2-4 inch 4. High workability: slump value 100-175mm or 4-7 inch True Slump – True slump is the only slump that can be measured in the test. The measurement is taken between the top of the cone and the top of the concrete after the cone has been removed as shown in figure. 35  Zero Slump – Zero slump is the indication of very low water-cement ratio, which results in dry mixes. These type of concrete is generally used for road construction.  Collapsed Slump – This is an indication that the water-cement ratio is too high, i.e. concrete mix is too wet or it is a high workability mix, for which a slump test is not appropriate.  Shear Slump – The shear slump indicates that the result is incomplete, and concrete to be retested. PROCEDURE: 1. Clean the internal surface of the mould and apply oil. 2. Place the mould on a smooth horizontal non- porous base plate. 3. Fill the mould with the prepared concrete mix in 4 approximately equal layers. 4. Tamp each layer with 25 strokes of the rounded end of the tamping rod in a uniform manner over the cross section of the mould. For the subsequent layers, the tamping should penetrate into the underlying layer. 5. Remove the excess concrete and level the surface with a trowel. 6. Clean away the mortar or water leaked out between the mould and the base plate. 7. Raise the mould from the concrete immediately and slowly in vertical direction. 8. Measure the slump as the difference between the height of the mould and that of height point of the specimen being tested. VIVA Question---- 1. A slump of 50-100mm can be used for . 2.
