A. Slump refers to how wet or dry fresh concrete is upon delivery. Slump is based on a 12 inch scale. The lower the slump number, the drier the concrete will be. A slump of 1 is very dry concrete, while a slump of 12 will run like water. This is a key piece of information that we will need to mix your concrete batch.

Read MoreOct 26, 2017· When the weight of cement is more, i.e. aggregate cement ratio is less, the concrete has more cement paste required to coat aggregates and fill the voids between them. This more cement paste makes the concrete relatively easy to mix, place and compact as it reduces the friction between aggregates and allows its smooth movement.

Read MoreConcrete Aggregates. During the introduction of this article, I've thrown the word "aggregate" around a lot. Simply put, an aggregate is a material or component that creates a whole when mixed with other components. Concrete aggregates are additives of sand, cement, rock, and gravel that make up the whole of a concrete mix. Every mix has ...
