b) Consistency-Slump Test<br />

The workability of concrete shall be checked at frequent<br />

intervals. The slump test shall be carried out in accordance<br />

with the standard method given under the I.S. <strong>specifications</strong><br />

mentioned above. The slump shall be as small as practicable,<br />

consistent with the efficient working and compacting of<br />

concrete. The slump shall not exceed 64mm, but the Engineer<br />

may, under exceptional conditions permit greater slump upto<br />

a limit of 150mm.<br />

The standard consistency test shall be applied every time at<br />

each mixture when test cubes are taken for the <strong>works</strong><br />

compressive strength test.<br />

c) Moisture Contents in the aggregates<br />

The moisture contents in the aggregate shall be determined<br />

in the field in accordance with the latest I.S.No.2386 (part-III)<br />

Method of Test for aggregates for concrete.<br />

d) Unit weight of concrete<br />

It shall be determined by passing placing representative<br />

samples of concrete in unit measure capacity and vibrating it<br />

externally by small vibrator or hand compacting to represent<br />

actual placing condition. The top of the concrete shall then be<br />

made truly flush with the top of the mole and the weight of the<br />

concrete per cu.m. determined after curing and drying. The<br />

weight of dry concrete shall be between 2400 to 2625<br />

kg./cu.m.
