A Comprehensive Guide to Concrete Specs – Everything You Need to Know
A Complete Guide to Concrete Specs – a set of technical parameters including concrete grade, slump, compressive strength, aggregate size, and mix ratio. This article helps you understand how to define, apply, and control concrete quality according to TCVN standards and practical construction conditions.
How to check the concrete slump
In construction and civil engineering, concrete slump test (or simple slump test) is the work performed at the construction site or in the laboratory that usually determines and measures the hardness, consistency of samples. Concrete before pouring concrete or casting maintenance, research or experiment samples.
