Labsheet Slump Test

1. The slump test measures the decrease in height of concrete when the mold containing the concrete is lifted. This test correlates workability with a physical measurement. 2. The standard apparatus for a slump test includes a metal cone-shaped mold and a temping rod used to compact the concrete. 3. There are three types of slumps - true slump, shear slump, and collapse slump - which indicate different levels of workability and consistency in the concrete mix.

TOPIK (TOPIC) : SLUMP TEST
HELAIAN KERJA (LAB SHEET) :

Scope & significance of slump test:

This test method is used in lab and in field for finding out the slump (decrease in the height of concrete
when we lift up the mould). This test is used extensively in site works all over the world. The slump test
does not measure the workability of concrete directly but it co-relates the workability with some physical
measurement.
Apparatus:

1- Metal mould, thickness is 1.15mm, it is in cone form with the base 200mm diameter and 300mm
height with the top diameter 100mm. the top and base of cylindrical mould is open and parallel to each
other. The mould is provided with foot pieces and handles.

2- Temping rod, 16mm diameter and 600mm in length having temping ends.

Procedure

1. The mold for the slump test is a frustum of a cone, 300 mm (12 in) of height. The base is 200 mm
(8in) in diameter and it has a smaller opening at the top of 100 mm (4 in).

2. The base is placed on a smooth surface and the container is filled with concrete in three layers,
whose workability is to be tested .

3. Each layer is temped 25 times with a standard 16 mm (5/8 in) diameter steel rod, rounded at the
end.

4. When the mold is completely filled with concrete, the top surface is struck off (leveled with mould
top opening) by means of screening and rolling motion of the temping rod.

5. The mould must be firmly held against its base during the entire operation so that it could not
move due to the pouring of concrete and this can be done by means of handles or foot - rests
brazed to the mould.

6. Immediately after filling is completed and the concrete is leveled, the cone is slowly and carefully
lifted vertically, an unsupported concrete will now slump.

7. The decrease in the height of the center of the slumped concrete is called slump.

8. The slump is measured by placing the cone just besides the slump concrete and the temping rod
is placed over the cone so that it should also come over the area of slumped concrete.

9. The decrease in height of concrete to that of mould is noted with scale. (usually measured to the
nearest 5 mm (1/4 in)

Types Of Slump

There are three types of slump.

1- True Slump

2- Shear Slump

3- Collapse slump

Collapse Slump

In a collapse slump the concrete collapses completely. A collapse slump will generally mean that the mix is
too wet or that it is a high workability mix, for which slump test is not appropriate.

Shear Slump

In a shear slump the top portion of the concrete shears off and slips sideways. OR

If one-half of the cone slides down an inclined plane, the slump is said to be a shear slump.

1. If a shear or collapse slump is achieved, a fresh sample should be taken and the test is repeated.

2. If the shear slump persists, as may the case with harsh mixes, this is an indication of lack of
cohesion of the mix.

True Slump

In a true slump the concrete simply subsides, keeping more or less to shape

1. This is the only slump which is used in various tests.

2. Mixes of stiff consistence have a Zero slump, so that in the rather dry range no variation can be
detected between mixes of different workiability.

RESULT .mm

Conclusion
Plastic mix:
Concrete mix that flows sluggishly without segregating and is readily
molded.

Dry (stiff) mix:


Concrete mix containing too little water or too much aggregate in
relation to the other components and having little or no slump.

Wet mix:
Concrete mix having a relatively high water content and runny
consistency, yielding a product that is low in strength, durability and
watertight properties.
