AS 1012.3.1:2014 PDF Download

AS 1012.3.1:2014 provides guidelines for measuring the slump of concrete when the aggregate's nominal size does not exceed 40 mm. The slump test is used to assess the workability and consistency of freshly mixed concrete.

The standard emphasizes the importance of safety as it involves hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. It may require wearing appropriate safety gear and following safety protocols during the testing procedure.

The slump test involves filling a cylindrical mold with freshly mixed concrete and then removing the mold to observe the settlement of concrete. By measuring the slump, which is the difference in height between the height of the mold and the settled concrete, the workability and consistency of the concrete can be determined.

This standard provides clear instructions on how to prepare the mold, fill it with concrete, and measure the slump accurately. It is an essential tool for quality control and ensuring the desired properties of concrete are met for construction projects.
