Workability of Concrete - Building Materials

 Workability of concrete

  •         The ease and homogeneity with which a freshly prepared concrete can be mixed, placed, compacted and finished are called workability.
  •         For low workability concrete, the most suitable test is either Vee-bee Consistometer test or the Compaction factor test.
  •         Of which, Vee bee consistometer is adopted for concrete with even lower workability as compared to that for compaction factor test.


 Important Points:

  • For highly workable concrete, the most suitable test is a flow table test.

  • For medium workable concrete, the slump cone test is favorable.

  • J-Ring Test is conducted to check whether the given concrete sample is self-compacting concrete or not.
