Which of the following tests is used on a compacted cone of concrete to measure the loss of height?
  1. Modified Proctor
  2. Slump
  3. Creep
  4. Shrink
Explanation
Answer: B - A slump test is used on a compacted cone of concrete to measure the loss of height. Slump tests are conducted at the job site to evaluate the workability of fresh concrete used, and to ensure consistency between all the batches of concrete used on a project. The workability of a specific batch of concrete is affected by its wetness; drier concrete mixes are typically less workable than wetter mixes.
