Concrete slump test is an empirical test that measures the 3or2a5ility of fresh concrete.More specifically< it

measures the consistency of the concrete in that specific 5atch. -his test is performe4 to chec2 the

consistency of freshly ma4e concrete. Consistency is a term 6ery closely relate4 to 3or2a5ility. )t is a term

3hich 4escri5es the state of fresh concrete. )t refers to the ease 3ith 3hich the concrete flo3s. )t is use4 to

in4icate the 4e0ree of 3etness. or2a5ility of concrete is mainly affecte4 5y consistency i.e. 3etter mi@es
