OBJECTIVE OF SLUMP TEST

To determine the degree of mixing work of concrete with slump test. The goal of the
concreate slump test is to measure the consistency of concrete. Many factors are take into
account to meet the requirements of concrete strength and to make sure that a consistent
mixture of cement being used during the process of construction. The test also further
determines the “workability” of concrete, which provides a scale on how easy it is to handle,
compact and cure concrete.

EQUIPMENT

Slump Cone

Scoop

Sampling Tray
 Shovel/ Mixer

Tamping Rod, 16mm diameter, 600mm long

Rule/ Tape

Funnel

Base Plate
INGREDIENTS

- 9 KG of Coarse Aggregate
- 4.5 KG of Sand
- 1.5 KG of Cement
- 0.75 KG of Water

PROCEDURE OF SLUMP TEST

Clean the internal surface of the mould.

Mix the ingrediants

 Fill the mould with the prepared concrete mix.

Tamp each layer with 25 strokes of the rounded

end of the tamping rod in a uniform manner over
the cross section of the mould. For the subsequent
layers, the tamping should penertrate into the
underlying layer.
Remove the excess concrete and level the surface
with a trowel.
Clean away the mortar or wate leaked out between
the mould and the base plate.

Raise the mould from the concrete immediately

and slowly in vertical direction.

Measure the slump as the difference between the

height of the mould and that of height point of the
specimen being tested
OBSERVATION OF RESULT
SLUMP TEST CALCULATION

EXAMPLE

Volume of cone (V)

= V1 – V2
= { 1/3 R12h1} - {1/3 r22h2 }
= {1/3 (0.1m)2(0.3m)} - {1/3 (0.05m)2 (0.1m)}
= 2.96x10-3m3

Mass of concrete
= volume x density
= 2.93x10-3m3 X 2400kg/m3
= 7.10kg

Wastage
= 20% X Mass of concrete
=20% X 7.032kg + 1.406kg
=1.42kg

Total weight of concrete

= Mass of concrete + wastage
= 7.032kg + 1.406kg
= 8.52kg
Concrete Grade 7.5
Ration (1:3:6)
Total Ratio : 10
= 15kg/10
= 1.5

Mass of cement
= 1.5 x 1
= 1.5kg

Mass of sand
= 1.5 x 3
= 4.5 kg

Mass of aggregate
=1.5 x 6kg
= 9kg

Mass of water
= Mass of concrete x water cement ratio
= 1.5 x 0.50
= 0.75
CONCLUSION

The Concrete slump test measures the consistency of fresh concrete before it sets. It is
performed to check the workability of freshly made concrete, and therefore the ease with
which concrete flows. It can also be used as an indicator of an improperly mixed batch. The
slump test is used to ensure uniformity for different loads of concrete under field conditions.

A separate test, known as the flow table, or slump-flow, test, is used for concrete that is too
fluid (workable) to be measured using the standard slump test, because the concrete will not
retain its shape when the cone is removed
PROCEDURE OF SLUMP TEST

1. Clean the internal surface of the mould.

2. Place the mould on a smooth horizontal non- porous base plate.

3. Fill the mould with the prepared concrete mix.

4. Tamp each layer with 25 strokes of the rounded end of the tamping rod in a
uniform manner over the cross section of the mould. For the subsequent layers, the
tamping should penertrate into the underlying layer.

5. Remove the excess concrete and level the surface with a trowel.

6. Clean away the mortar or wate leaked out between the mould and the base plate.

7. Raise the mould from the concrete immediately and slowly in vertical direction.

8. Measure the slump as the difference between the height of the mould and that of
height point of the specimen being tested
