ACI Slump Test: ASTM C143 Concrete Slump 2019

Slump of Hydraulic-Cement Concrete
ACI Technician Workbook CP-1 (14)
------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE
There is no requirement to pull a spread test in our demonstration because we are not looking for flow ability - we are performing a "Slump" test and testing for consistency.
We were not out to determine whether or not the concrete needed a flow test; rather, we're simply demonstrating the proper method for performing ASTM C-143 Standard Test Method for Slump of Hydraulic-Cement Concrete.
When shooting multiple takes in a lab setting and continuously washing our equipment, our 5" slump quickly moved to about a 9-1/2".
Please don't post comments about a need to perform a spread test, based on the appearance of the slump.

As a retired mixer truck driver I had my share of slump test preformed on my loads in my life time, and proud to say I never was caught with a soft load. Now that the test is over its up to the contractor to ask for and sign my tag for any water to be added, at that point concrete strength is his problem.

[@david_onthetrail]

I like being tested, lets me know I am where I thought I was.

[@wyattcooper3514]

These videos helped me pass my Performance Exam for ACI Concrete Field Testing Tech Grade 1. Still waiting on my written test results and I feel great about it. (3/18/21)

[@sicerts]

Right on Wyatt!!! Well keep us posted, good on you my friend.

[@DrPhil714]

Update?

[@helgacobian1915]

How did it go?

[@curlywalnuts]

Wait yall take tests to do this???

[@AutismoLord]

Update? Been a year

[@Astra_Life1]

Very helpful when i first started in the testing business a year on and I’m still loving it as a job !

[@DrPhil714]

Thanks to these videos I passed my test

[@BravosReviews]

Excellent video, quality, summary, and presenter.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

This is good info for me as I learn about construction and building codes.

[@JoeTrusty]

Thanks for making this video. 👍

[@leogolive]

I’m about to start as a construction materials field testing tech.

[@robertmccully2792]

I was never on a job that a slump test was not required. And usually that means they also take cylinder samples for PSI test. And if their going to do the last two test, you can bet many soil compaction test were also taken on the fill before we got as far as this video.

[@mustachcashstash1]

Good info, nice and quick, very clear. Thank you.

[@ibrahimalrubaye803]

could you please explain how does this test effect us an what are the reasons behind it

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Hey wouldn't concrete sink your ship?

[@timothyisham5120]

Nice grout

[@gregkbrown]

great video guys!!!! correct correct correct

[@TheDBZCollector]

we use self consolidating concrete at my job. to bad aci tests aren't determined by what you do at your job that way I wouldn't have to do the roller meter.

[@TheDBZCollector]

of course when i did the field tests i waited until like 11am b/c i was nervous and the guy I did the tests for had tee time in a couple of hours so he just had me talk him through the roller meter without actually doing it.

[@jesusglopez8430]

Thanks for sharing.

[@jacoboquijada2052]

Great video thank´s

[@enmanueldelgado9244]

Tomorrow is my first test alone iam nervous

[@koberoy5947]

I myself have been filled in 3 layers and rodded 25 times each time

[@shemawiz00]

Very informative

[@mikeconroe3328]

Sir, your mixture are collapsed... 😅 or its just education purpose

[@janetng4735]

I think this slump test for this batch of concrete fails and not up to standard. the drop of concrete to pass a slump test shall be -/+ 25mm?

[@ВоваБайкал]

In Russia, a similar method for determining the grade of concrete mobility using a truncated cone.

[@LeffHynebridge]

In Russia, concrete test you

[@helgacobian1915]

Inteeesting ....Tell me more please.

[@neilprete918]

Sounds like a spread test. We use that in certain applications too.

As a mixer driver most jobs have a spec that we have to meet. Slump is one of them. Too wet (higher slump) means a weaker product.

[@raffiart5121]

Slump is usually a measure of workability of concrete. Workability is the ability to work with concrete such as pouring the concrete. The higher the amount of the water the more workable your concrete but the weaker its strength. So you want to add just the right amount of water to your cement to make sure you can work with it yet it’s strong enough. Usually, that is a 2 to 1 ratio which gives you around 4000 psi or 25 to 30 MPa strength. These are of course all very rough numbers and needs to be tested for concrete.

[@brownbagg]

only thing this test does is compare one truck to another load with the same mix, it doesnt tell you water cement ratio, just unformity

[@empireaxe8852]

@@layneleavitt2537 high slump does not always mean weak concrete. Can’t tell u how many mix approved mix designs there are that require an 8” slump or higher….because of all the admixtures in the concrete

[@layneleavitt2537]

@@empireaxe8852 You can get a higher slump by using different products, its the water/cement ratio that weakens it.

[@dioteo1711]

use superplasticizer slump 170-200mm the slump look like collapse slump ?

[@elijah4606]

A flow table test would be more appropriate if the slump is very high.

[@abdullahimtiaz2962]

Hi, kindly tell me what is the procedure of slump test for lightweight concrete.

[@victorvillarreal2098]

It's the same

[@SkasksMedia]

once you remove the mold by raising it gradually, and you measure the distance between the TOP in the MOLD, what is the perfect distance that you should measure? 30cm? 40 cm? please let me, thanks!

[@Vargas9215]

Cm? You mean inches? 1 ft = 12 in. Measure to the nearest 1/4 in.

[@andrewmccann3964]

depends on what the concrete is being used for

[@Shivakumar-dq9xl]

why the slump cone is conical ?

Is it just me or is that concrete really slumpy?

[@ryancaskey5978]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses that word with regards to a high slump

[@shiptj01]

It is really slumpy.

[@neilprete918]

Pretty common to see 8"and more depending on admixtures

[@Razania_Channel]

haloo.. nice video

[@mohammednammorah987]

Is it concrete? Seems like a mortar.

[@fadedace1342]

Probably using fly ash

[@ashamsmc7773]

💯

[@walikhan3367]

Sir nice pos from Afg

[@Reaper6207]

Only jobs these tests are "looked at" are federal jobs.

[@neilprete918]

Anyone interested in an actual slump test is just giving themselves away as not knowing anything about concrete.

[@christophercline8421]

It is an outdated test. Slump in the field tells nothing about final strength

[@monhi64]

Damn not in upstate NY. Seems like just about everyone requests slump, air content and cylinders in some capacity. Some maniacs make me test every single truck 20 trucks in a row. I’m sure slump has a use for determining consistency but my main gripe is how unreliable the test is itself. Two people might do the same concrete, do all the steps technically correct and end up with completely different values. Not to mention trucks will fail slump all the time and people just ignore it, don’t give a shit about anything as long as the cylinders pass

[@MrSean5123]

Damn that concrete is wet

[@Andrew.Drennan]

where are the gloves?! who wants cement burns??

[@Frakkture311]

Cement burns are for pussys who haven't been around cement long enough

@@Frakkture311 have you done the ACI code certificate? if so kindly do you have recommendation videos will help passing the test as you the course time so short.

Aula Jomaa I did practice tests on line . And watched as many cvideos on density test and slump as I could and air. Just keep watching and keep memorizing the steps.

7 1/2" slump! Just perfect for driveway pouring Yahoo's

[@christophercline8421]

That could be the spec for pump mixes or for places where you don't want voids due to rebar.

[@michakepa4018]

i cant believe im studying this shit rip

[@timothyisham5120]

Level within an 8th

[@soroshdj]

Very bad slump

[@maurizioagostino3371]

The very bad method of work. Safety first: gloves! Why you dont have the gloves? Where is the plate of base? The cone is dust. This not a good method. Sorry
