The compacting factor test is designed primarily for use in the laboratory but it can also be used in the field. It is more precise and sensitive than the slump test and is particularly useful for concrete mixes of very […]
workability of concrete by compaction factor test
Introduction The quality of concrete satisfying the above requirements is termed as workable concrete. The word “workability” or workable concrete signifies much wider and deeper meaning than the other terminology “consistency” often used loosely for workability. Consistency is a general
Introduction The compacting factor test is conducted to determine the workability of fresh concrete. Although the most common method of determining workability is the slump test, it does not give an accurate result for the concrete with less workability, especially
