The slumped concrete takes various shapes, and according to the profile of slumped
concrete, the slump is termed as;
Collapse Slump
In a collapse slump the concrete collapses completely. A collapse slump will generally
mean that the mix is too wet or that it is a high workability mix, for which slump test is not
appropriate.
Shear Slump
When one-half of the concrete mass slide down the other is called the shear slump.
True Slump
The concrete mass after the test when slumps evenly all around without disintegration
is called the true slump.
1. The procedure of slump test is simple and easy than any other workability test.
3. Slump test can be performed at the construction site as well as in the laboratory.
APPARATUS AND MATERIALS
2. Measuring scale
1. Mould or slump cone with a height of
300 mm, bottom diameter 200 mm, and
top diameter 100 mm.
3. The mold of the slump test was made by iron cone, and it had smaller opening at the
top.
4. The inner surface of the mold was cleaned and then apply oil to it.
5. Next, the mold was set on a smooth surface of the iron base.
7. Each layers was temped 25 times with steel rod, rounded at the end.
8. When the mold was completely filled with concrete, the top surface was levelled with
concrete, it could be rolled by temping rod.
9. Next, the mold cone was lifted slowly in the vertical direction without disturbing the
concrete cone.
10. Lastly, the measuring scale was used to measure the difference level between the
height of the mould and the concrete sample.
Each layers was temped 25 times with steel rod
SUGGETION :
CONCLUSION :
In accomplishing this test, we can know the required water content of concrete in
accordance with its function. Plus, we can know and feel how thick or liquid the mixture of
concrete in the field. Furthemore, We can know and learn the utility in slump equipment.
And we can know the importance of the slump test on the concrete mix under construction.
