    Compaction Factor Test&Slump Test Report

    1) The student conducted a compaction factor test and slump test on concrete mixtures with different water-cement ratios and mix designs. 2) For the compaction factor test, the fully compacted concrete mixture weighed more than the partially compacted mixture. The 1:2:4 ratio mixture showed better workability than the 1:1:2 ratio mixture. 3) For the slump test, additional water was added to the 1:2:4 mixture and slump heights were measured. The 0.8 water-cement ratio mixture showed a higher slump but weaker structure and less workability.

    On the second lab practical we make the Compaction Factor Test and Slump Test to
    determine the work-ability of concrete and determine the effect of slump on
    different water/cement ratio and concrete mix.
    Same on the cube test, we need to measure the mass of cement, sand and
    aggregate by ratio 1:2:4 and mixed it. After mixed the materials, we pour it into the
    first level of the Compaction Factor Apparatus and open the trap door level by level
    to let the concrete fall into the cylinder on bottom. After that we weight it and
    compare with the concrete which is fill by layer and with tamping 25 times for 4
    layers.We got the result of 16.2kg which is partially compacted concrete and 17.1kg
    which is fully compacted concrete.
    According to the result we know that the fully compacted concrete which got
    tamping 25 times is heavier than the partially compacted concrete and the
    compaction factor is 0.95. By comparing with other group who using the ratio of
    1:1:2, we know that the concrete of using the ratio 1:2:4 got more work-ability than
    another concrete which compaction factor is 0.97. So that the ratio of 1:2:4 is more
    suitable and stable used in construction because of the work-ability.
    On the practical of Slump Test, we use the same concrete after the Compaction
    Factor Test and add additional volume of water by 0.6 and 0.8 water/cement
    ratio.We need to determine that the concrete is collapse slump, shear slump or true
    slump.
    Before we add water, we think our concrete is too watering and it is hard to add
    water again because the water cannot be mixed perfectly. After mix concrete, we
    filled it into the slump cone until full and also by four layer and tamping 25 times
    each layer. Then we take the cone slowly and put the cone upside down at the side
    of concrete and measure the height between the top of the cone and the concrete.
    Then we observed the change of the height of the concrete and measure the
    difference. Normally our concrete will collapse because of watering.
    In the end, we get the result of 160mm by using 0.60 water/cement ratio and
    185mm by using 0.80 water/cement ratio. By comparing, the height of concrete after
    adding additional water by 0.8 water/cement ratio is weak and watering so we might
    use more time to hardening and the concrete will be less work-ability. In my opinion,
    the concrete in ratio 1:1:2 is less work-ability of the concrete in ratio 1:2:4 because
    the slump is higher, and the concrete is more watering.
