Concrete Flow Test

The document describes the steps of a flow table test used to determine the consistency and flow value of fresh concrete. It lists the names of six students and their student IDs. It then outlines the seven steps of the test, which involves placing fresh concrete in an Abrams cone on a wetted flow table, tamping it, lifting the cone, and dropping and measuring the diameter of the spread concrete. It also provides additional context about factors that affect concrete density such as aggregates, entrained air, and hydration over time.

Wetted the flow table.


Place the cone in the centre of the flow table,
fill in with fresh concrete in two equal layer.
Tamping each layer for 10 times.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Lift up the cone to allow concrete to flow.
Lift up the flow table until it meets the stop,
drop down for 15 times.
Diameter of concrete is measured.

Concrete

density depends
on its ingredients and their
proportions.
Density of regularly used
aggregates can vary strikingly
between, say, limestone and
granite.
Entrained air reduces density and

The degree of hydration is


synonymous with the age of
concrete provided the concrete has
not been allowed to dry out or the
temperature is too low.
In theory, provided the concrete is
not allowed to dry out, then it will
always be increasing albeit at an
ever reducing rate.
It is generally accepted that the
majority of the strength has been

If the volume remains the same and the


proportion of cement in relation to sand is
increased the surface area of the solid will
increase.
Surface area increased, the water demand
will stay the same.
Assuming an increase in cement content for
no increase in water demand, the water
cement ratio will decrease.
