concrete slump test

The concrete slump test is an empirical test that measures the workability of fresh concrete.

The concept of water-cement ratio was developed by Duff A. Abrams and first published in 1918, see concrete slump test.

Slump (concrete), refers to the workability of a concrete mixture and is determined by use of the concrete slump test.

In the United States, engineers use the ASTM standards and AASHTO specifications when referring to the concrete slump test.

Workability can be measured by the concrete slump test, a simplistic measure of the plasticity of a fresh batch of concrete following the ASTM C 143 or EN 12350-2 test standards.

The civil facilities are also expanding and Group 5 is in the process of building an outside facility on school premises where the learners will be able to do practicals pertinent to Civil Technology, i.e.: concrete slump tests, concrete beam testing, etc.
