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.
