Define slump in terms of slump test

Answer Posted / br kumar

slump in simple words is 'subsidence'. in other words, it is one of the measures for knowing the workability(the ease with which we transport, place/pour and compact)of concrete. i.e. more slump= more workable (user friendly) mix &
less slump = less workable(user difficult)mix.
