Objective:: Aashto T 119

This experiment measured the workability of two concrete mixes using slump and flow tests. For the first mix, the slump was 180mm, while the second mix collapsed, indicating segregation. The flow test of the first mix resulted in diameters of 57mm and 54mm, averaging to 55.2mm. The tests demonstrated how slump and flow can evaluate workability, but do not fully determine it. Students learned about properly mixing concrete and water-cement ratios.

Objective:

This experiment is concerned with exposing the students to the measurements of workability using various methods.

Scope of Work:
This procedure provides instructions for determining the slump of hydraulic cement concrete in accordance with AASHTO T 119. It is not applicable to non-plastic and non-cohesive concrete. With concrete using 37.5mm (1 in.) or larger aggregate, the +37.5mm (1 in.) aggregate must be removed in accordance with the FOP for WAQTC TM 2.

Test Standards:
AASHTO T 119

Experimental Apparatus and Equipment:


Mold: The metal mold shall be provided with foot pieces and handles. The mold must be constructed without a seam. The interior of the mold shall be relatively smooth and free from projections such as protruding rivets. The mold shall be free from dents. A mold that clamps to a rigid nonabsorbent base plate is acceptable provided the clamping arrangement is such that it can be fully released without movement of the mold. Mold: Other than metal must conform to AASHTO T 119 Sections 5.1.1.1 & 5.1.1.2. Tamping rod: 16 mm (5/8 in.) diameter and approximately 600 mm (24 in.) long, having a hemispherical tip. (Hemispherical means half a sphere; the tip is rounded like half of a ball.) Scoop Tape measure or ruler with at least 5 mm or 1/8 in. graduations Base: Flat, rigid, non-absorbent moistened surface on which to set the slump cone

Materials Used:

Concrete mix 1: Cement: 12 kg F.A:5kg Agg.14-10:4kg Water: 4.5 L

concrete mix 2: cement: 12kg F.A: 5kg Agg.14-10: 4kg water: 6L

Procedures:
Prepare the required concrete mixes. The mould is placed on a level metal plate. It is filled in three layers(each approximately one third of the mould). Each layer is tamped with 25 stokes which is distributed in a uniform manner over the cross-section of the mould. This will be done by using a round ended rod of 15mm diameter and 600mm length. Level the upper surface of the mix and then lift the slump mould. Measure the decrease in the height of the specimen. It represents the slump.

Results:
First result: the slump is 180mm. Second result: collapse (segregation).

We apply the flow test: The diameters are 57, 54. (57+54)/2=55.2

Conclusion:
After we made the test, the first value was 180 mm and the second collapse. This test very easy to use in project to calculate the slump, but it is not a true determination of workability. This test learnt us about mixing the concrete, and the amount used.
