What should one do if the slump test fails for a given concrete?
Skin reinforcement is the secondary side face reinforcement provided when the depth of the section exceeds 750 mm. As per IS 456, it is a minimum of 0.1% of the Gross CS area and should be provided equally on both the faces of the beam. This reinforcement is provided to To reduce tension cracks dueRead more
Skin reinforcement is the secondary side face reinforcement provided when the depth of the section exceeds 750 mm.
As per IS 456, it is a minimum of 0.1% of the Gross CS area and should be provided equally on both the faces of the beam.
This reinforcement is provided to
- To reduce tension cracks due to high depth
- To avoid torsional buckling
- To prevent buckling of shear reinforcement

Because slump test gives an idea about workability and water-cement ratio
If the water-cement ratio is high, then the workability of concrete is increased. Still, the durability of concrete is decreased due to excessive water, which forms voids in the concrete and reduce the strength of the concrete.
Generally slump value is wearing from 25mm to 175 mm it depends on how much workability we required
