Summary of Test Method 3.1 A sample of freshly mixed concrete is placed and ‘compacted by rodding in a mold shaped as the frustum of a cone. The mold is raised, and the concrete allowed to subside. ‘The vertical distance between the original and displaced postion of the center of the top surface of the concrete is ‘measured and reported as the slump of the concrete. 4.
