Q

for the
determination of the workability of
concrete, but it has the advantage of
a mechanized action after removing
the slump cone, the concrete
undergoes a vibration to determine its
slump. A space disk set in contact with
the upper surface of the wet concrete,
gives the operator the opportunity to
determine when the compaction is
complete. The operator will count the
time necessary to complete the
requested vibration, so as to get an
indication of the workability of the
concrete.
