What is the purpose of the slump test in concrete?
Correct Answer: The slump test measures the workability of concrete.
- Step 1: Understand that the slump test is a way to measure how workable concrete is.
- Step 2: Workability means how easily concrete can be mixed, poured, and shaped.
- Step 3: The test involves filling a cone-shaped mold with fresh concrete.
- Step 4: After filling, the mold is lifted off, and the concrete will settle or 'slump'.
- Step 5: Measure how much the concrete has slumped down from the top of the mold.
- Step 6: A larger slump means the concrete is more workable, while a smaller slump means it is less workable.
