Sample Water cement ratio Slump (mm)
1 0.40 45
2 0.50 145
3 0.60 165
4 0.70 185
Sample 1 Sample 3
Sample 2 Sample 4
Problem faced during the experiment
The ratio of water was measured wrongly due to the scale of the container. The weight scale also has
problem during the experiment. Our group member forget to weighing the container before weighing
the cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. However, it does not influence a lot to our result.
Next time, we should to be prepared and focus during doing the experiment to get the best results.
Why the slump result are different
The slump result are different because the amount of water. The more water, the higher the slump
result.
Importance of a proper water to cement ratio
A proper water to cement ratio is important because the concrete is gain more strength if the water is
increase. The more value of water, the higher the slump test. The concrete with higher water cement
ratio is value than the concrete with lowest water cement ratio.
Discussion based on concrete works
Based from the results, sample 1 is 45 mm that specified slump class in S2 refer to the identity criteria
slump specified as a slump class. It is because not less than 40 and not more than 110. Then, for
sample 2 which is 145 mm and sample 3 is 165 specified slump class in S3 which is not less than 90
and not more than 170. Sample 3 also can be classified as S4 which is not less than 150 and not more
than 230. Lastly, for sample 4 which is 185 was categorized as S4 which is not less than 150 and not
more than 230.
