 What is no-slump
concrete?

As per ACI 116R-00, “No-slump concrete is a freshly mixed

concrete that exhibits a slump of less than 25 mm”.
 What is the maximum
aggregate size for reinforced
precast products?

A common and appropriate maximum aggregate size for

reinforced precast concrete elements like pipe is 19 mm.
Are no-slump concrete and
zero-slump concrete the
same?

No-slump concrete is a freshly mixed concrete mixture with a slump value of less
than 25 mm. However, zero-slump concrete is a considerably stiff or extremely
dry consistency exhibiting no measurable slump after removing the slump cone.
 How is the workability of
no-slump concrete tested?

The Vebe test is an appropriate method of workability

measurement for no-slump concrete, per ACI 211.3R-02.
What are the applications
of no-slump concrete?

1. Roller compacted concrete

2. Fabrication of precast concrete products
like pipes, manholes, roof tiles, and
prestressed members
3. Slip-formed pavement
4. Curbs
