8、bility of concrete has never been precisely defined. For practical purposes it generally implies the ease with which a concrete mix can be handled from the mixer to its finally compacted shape. The three main characteris

9、tics of the property are consistency, mobility and compactability. Consistency is a measure of wetness or fluidity. Mobility defines the ease with which a mix can flow into and completely fill the formwork or mould. Comp

11、should be appreciated that the necessary work again depends on the nature of the section being cast. Measurement of internal work presents many difficulties and several methods have been developed for this purpose but no

12、ne gives an absolute measure of workability.</p><p>　　The tests commonly used for measuring workability do not measure the individual characteristics (consistency, mobility and compactability) of workability

13、. However, they do provide useful and practical guidance on the workability of a mix. Workability affects the quality of concrete and has a direct bearing on cost so that, for example, an unworkable concrete mix requires

14、 more time and labour for full compaction. It is most important that a realistic assessment is made of the workability required</p><p>　　13.2 Measurement of Workability</p><p>　　Three tests wide

15、ly used for measuring workability are the slump, compacting factor and V-B consistometer tests (figure 13.1). These are standard tests in the United Kingdom and are described in detail in BS 1881: Part 2. Their use is al

16、so recommended in CP 110: Part 1. It is important to note that there is no single relationship between the slump, compacting factor and V-B results for different concretes. In the following sections the salient features

17、of these tests together with their merits an</p><p>　　Slump Test</p><p>　　This test was developed by Chapman in the United States in 1913. A 300 mm high concrete cone, prepared under standard co

18、nditions (BS 1881: Part 2) is allowed to subside and the slump or reduction in height of the cone is taken to be a measure of workability. The apparatus is inexpensive, portable and robustd and is the simplest of all the

19、 methods employed for measuring workability. It is not surprising that, in spite of its several limitations, the slump test has retained its popularity.</p><p>　　Figure 13.1 Apparatus for workability measure

21、 between slump and workability as defined previously, it is suitable for detecting changes in workability. For example, an increase in the water content or deficiency in the proportion of fine aggregate results in an inc

22、rease in slump. Although the test is suitable for quality-control purposes it should be remembered that it is generally considered to be unsuitable for </p><p>　　Figure 13.2 Three main types of slump</p&g

23、t;<p>　　The three types of slump usually observed are true slump, shear slump and collapse slump, as illustrated in figure 13.2. A true slump is observed with cohesive and rich mixes for which the slump is general

24、ly sensitive to variations in workability. A collapse slump is usually associated with very wet mixes and is generally indicative of poor quality concrete and most frequently results from segregation of its constituent m

26、t should be noted that the value of slump changes with time after mixing owing to normal hydration processes and evaporation of some of the free water, and it is desirable therefore that tests are performed within a fixe

27、d period of time.</p><p>　　Compacting Factor Test</p><p>　　This test, developed in the United Kingdom by Glanville et al. (1947), measures the degree of compaction for a standard amount of work

28、 and thus offers a direct and reasonably reliable assessment of the workability of concrete as previously defined. The apparatus is a relatively simple mechanical contrivance (figure 13.1) and is fully described in BS 18

29、81: Part 2. The test requires measurement of the weights of the partially and fully compacted concrete and the ratio of the partially compacted we</p><p>　　It should also be appreciated that, strictly speaki

30、ng, some of the basic assumptions of the test are not correct. The work done to overcome surface friction of the measuring cylinder probably varies with the characteristics of the mix. It has been shown by Cusens (1956)

31、that for concretes with very low workability the actual work required to obtain full compaction depends on the richness of a mix while the compacting factor remains sensibly unaffected. Thus it follows that the generally

43、of a mix. With the exception of gypsum, the composition of cement has no apparent effect on workability. Unstable gypsum is responsible for false set, which can impair workability unless prolonged mixing or remixing of t

47、most commonly used workability admixtures because they also improve both the cohesiveness of the plastic concrete and the frost resistance of the resulting hardened concrete. Two points of practical importance concerning
