Slump test

A slump test is a simple way to evaluate the workability or consistency of fresh concrete. It involves filling a conical mold with concrete, then lifting the mold off and measuring how much the concrete "sags" or slumps down. The amount of slump indicates whether the concrete is too stiff, too wet, or just right for a specific construction purpose. This helps ensure the concrete will be workable during placement and can achieve the desired strength and durability once hardened. The test is quick, easy, and widely used on construction sites to maintain quality control.
