Abstract:
During delivery of ready mixed concrete, the slump may change depending on a host of variables. However, the slump is typically known only at the batch plant or job site. This session explains the concepts used for the measurement of several properties (such as workability and volume) of fresh concrete directly in the drum of the concrete truck. Also, the adjustment of slump while in transit is discussed, incorporating experiences of concrete producers that have adopted this new technology. Lastly, researchers will present studies on the economical and practical aspects of slump measurement.
