Why a Slump Test is Needed
Why is a slump test needed during the placement of concrete? The concrete slump test can verify to a contractor or client that the consistency of freshly mixed concrete is within the project requirement. It can also be used to confirm if a batched mix has been correctly made with the permissible water added. Many times, concrete can be poorly mixed either through faulty concrete batch plant equipment or simply excessive water being added to concrete trucks. The slump test is acknowledged and used internationally due to the straightforwardness of the apparatus and techniques performed. The slump test is used to check concrete consistency for truckloads transported in field conditions.
An associated analysis checks similar to the slump test also performed and acknowledged internationally is called “spread test” or “flow test”. This examination is tested on concrete that is extremely fluid or non-workable that is typically considered self-consolidating. This assessment is typically performed during grout placements for masonry CMU walls. Verifying a suitable mix per project specifications has arrived at your site is imperative for not only the quality put forth into your project but also the safety and well-being of those who will be occupying or inhabiting near or around finished product.
