Procedure Checklist ASTM C 1611 Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC)

This document provides a checklist procedure for conducting an ASTM C 1611 slump flow test of self-consolidating concrete (SCC). The 13-step procedure involves remixing the concrete sample, placing the mold, filling and striking it off, lifting the mold, measuring the largest and perpendicular diameters of spread, and determining and reporting the slump flow. Tolerances for differences in diameter measurements and maximum testing time are also specified.

Procedure Checklist
ASTM C 1611 Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC)

P F N/A

Item
1. Perform test on a flat, level, nonabsorbent work surface. Do not subject the work surface or
column mold to vibration or disturbance.
2. Remix the sample obtained in accordance with ASTM C-172.
3. Dampen the interior of the mold and place it centered on the work surface in either the
upright or inverted mold position.
4. Fill the mold with SCC in accordance with ASTM C-1758.
5. Strike off the surface of the concrete level with the top of the mold by a sawing motion of the
strike-off bar. Remove concrete from the area surrounding the base of the mold.
6. Remove the mold from the concrete by raising it vertically. Raise the mold a distance of 9 ± 3
inches (225 ± 75 mm) in 3 ± 1 seconds by a steady upward lift with no lateral or torsional
motion.
7. Complete the entire test from the start of filling through removal of the mold without
interruption within an elapsed time of 2 ½ minutes.
8. Wait for the concrete to stop flowing and then measure the largest diameter (d 1) of the
resulting circular spread of concrete to the nearest ¼ inch (5 mm).
9. Measure a second diameter (d2) of the circular spread at an angle approximately
perpendicular to the first measured diameter (d1) to the nearest ¼ inch (5 mm).
10. When a halo is observed in the resulting circular spread of concrete, it shall be included as
part of the diameter of the concrete.
11. The test is invalid if the two measurements differs by more than 2 inches (50 mm) and the
test must be repeated.
12. Determine the slump flow.
13. Report the slump flow to the nearest ½ inch (10 mm).
Remarks: Comparison Criteria: 3.0 inches (75 mm)
