Slump Mold
Dimension of Slump Cone:
Diameter of the base – 203 mm
Diameter of the top – 102 mm
Altitude – 305 mm
Apparatus
Tamping Rod
A tamping rod made of round, straight steel 16 mm in diameter
and approximately 600 mm in length,with the tamping end
rounded to a hemispherical tip of 16 mm diameter.
Apparatus
3. Fill cone 1/3 full by volume and rod 25 times with steel tamping rod.
Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the sample.
Procedure
4. Fill cone 2/3 full by volume. Rod this layer 25 times with rod penetrating
into, but not through first layer. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire
cross section of the layer.
5. Fill cone to overflowing. Rod this layer 25 times with rod penetrating into
but not through, second layer. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire
cross section of this layer.
6. Remove the excess concrete from the top of the cone, using tamping rod
as a screed. Clean overflow from base of cone.
7. Immediately lift cone vertically with slow, even motion. Do not jar the
concrete or tilt the cone during this process. Invert the withdrawn cone,
and place next to, but not touching the slumped concrete. (Perform in 5-
10 seconds with no lateral or torsional motion.)
Procedure
8. Lay a straight edge across the top of the slump cone. Measure the
amount of slump in inches from the bottom of the straight edge to
the top of the slumped concrete at a point over the original center
of the base. The slump operation shall be completed in a maximum
elapsed time of 2 1/2 minutes. Discard concrete. DO NOT use in
any other tests.

Slump Test
Testing tip:
Since concrete setting is time and temperature dependent, this test must be
started within 5 minutes after obtaining the composite sample and completed
within 2 ½ minutes after the filling process begins.

r balance
The steel provided in the beam is such that steel reach the limiting
values of strain prior to concrete. This results in yielding of the steel and
the steel could yield till it attains the ultimate strain at which point it
breaks.
