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.
