 Modified Slump Test to Measure Rheological Parameters of Fresh Concrete   
 


The ease of placement of concrete depends upon at least two physical properties, the yield stress and plastic viscosity. Currently the most common field test is the slump test, and it is related only to the yield stress. Therefore, a simple field test method intended to provide an evaluation of the two Bingham rheological parameters, yield stress and plastic viscosity, was developed. Description of apparatus and test procedure.
