Properties OF Fresh
ConcreteIntroductionThe potential strength and durability of concrete of agiven i! proportion is very dependent on the degree ofits copaction"
#t is vital$ therefore$ that the consistency of the i! be
such that the concrete can be transported$ placed$ and%nished su&ciently early enough to attain the e!pectedstrength and durability"
Signifcance
The %rst '( hours are very iportant for theperforance of the concrete structure"
#t controls the long)ter behavior$ in*uence f+c ,ultiate

Concrete or2ability
DefnitionThe property of fresh concrete 0hich is indicated by the
aount of useful internal 0or2 re6uired to fully copact theconcrete 0ithout bleeding or segregation in the %nishedproduct"
Workabilityis one of the physical paraeters of concrete0hich a7ects the strength and durabilityas 0ell as the costof labor and appearance of the %nished product
Concrete is said to be workable when it is easilyplaced and compacted homogeneously i.e withoutbleeding or Segregation" 8n0or2able concrete needsore 0or2 or e7ort to be copacted in place$ alsohoneycobs 9:or poc2ets ay also be visible in %nished

Slup Test
Defnition
; slup test is a ethod used to deterine the consistencyof concrete" The consistency$ or sti7ness$ indicates ho0uch 0ater has been used in the i!" The sti7ness of theconcrete i! should be atched to the re6uireents for the%nished product 6uality
Slup is a easureent of concreteGs 0or2ability$ or*uidity"
#tGs an indirect easureent of concrete consistency orsti7ness"
#rinciple
The slup test result is a easure of the behavior of acopacted inverted cone of concrete under the action ofgravity" #t easures the consistency or the 0etness ofconcrete"

Flo0 Table TestDefnition
The )ow table testor )ow testis a ethod todeterine the consistence of fresh concrete"
;pplication hen fresh concrete is delivered toa site by a truc2 i!er it is soeties
necessary to chec2 its consistence beforepouring it into for0or2"
#f the consistence is not correct$ the concrete0ill not have the desired 6ualities once it has
set$ particularly the desired strength" #f theconcrete is too pasty$ it ay result in cavities0ithin the concrete0hich leads to corrosion ofthe rebar$ eventually leading to the foration of
crac2s ,as the rebar e!pands as it corrodes-0hich 0ill accelerate the 0hole process$ rather1A

;dvantagesB
One of the advantages of the ball penetration
test can be perfored on the concrete in ahopper$ buggy$ 0heelbarro0$ or other suitablecontainer"
;nother advantage of this ethod is its
siplicity and the rapidity 0ith 0hich theconsistency of the concrete can be deterined"
#t is also not dependent on a procedure of %llingand rodding a container li2e the slup test"

1- Slup test as described earlier is perfored$placing the slup cone inside the sheet etalcylindrical pot of the consist eter"
.- The glass disc attached to the s0ivel ar is turnand place on the top of the concrete in the pot"
5- The electrical vibrator is then s0itched on andsiultaneously a stop 0atch started"
'- The vibration is continued till such tie as theconical shape of the concrete disappears and theconcrete assue a cylindrical shape"

Concrete Segregation
DefnitionSegregation can be de%ned as separation of
constituent aterials of concrete"
Segregation is 0hen the coarse and %ne aggregate$and ceent paste$ become separated"

Concrete 4leeding
IntroductionThis refers to the appearance of 0ater along 0ithceent particles on the surface of the freshly laidconcrete" This happens 0hen there is e!cessive6uantity of 0ater in the i! or due to e!cessive
copaction" 4leeding causes the foration of poresand renders the concrete 0ea2" 4leeding can beavoided by suitably controlling the 6uantity of 0ater inthe concrete and using %ner grading of aggregates"
; thorough 2no0ledge of 0hy concrete bleeds and ho0i! proportions a7ect it$ is re6uired to preventing theharful e7ects of bleeding" ;doption of right %nishingethods also helps to ensure that the bleedingprobles 0on+t ruin a slab surface"

;lost all freshly placed concrete bleeds" ;s aggregate and ceent
particles settle$ they force e!cess i!ing 0ater up0ard" Theprocess continues until settleent stops$ either because of solidsbridging or because the concrete has set"
The total aount of bleeding or settleent depends on i!properties$ priarily 0ater content and aount of %nes ,ceent$ *yash$ %ne sand-" #ncreasing 0ater content increases bleeding$ and
increasing the aount of %nes reduces bleeding" ;ount ofbleeding is also proportional to the depth of concrete placed" /orebleed 0ater rises in deep sections than in thin ones"
4leeding usually occurs gradually by unifor seepage over the0hole surface$ but soeties vertical channels for" ater *o0sfast enough in these channels to carry %ne particles of ceent andsand$ leaving 0orholes in the interior or sand strea2s at thefor face" Channels are ore li2ely to for 0hen concrete bleedse!cessively"
Channels that reach the surface are open paths for deicingsolutions to penetrate the concrete" This leads to free=ing and
