Mobility decreases accordingly HydrationVaporization Waterabsorbed Water absorbed by aggregates Influence from Time By hydration and vaporization, water is absorbed by aggregates and mobility decreases accordingly.
The relationship between slump and time is shown in fig Slump decreases while time increases. Slump test should be proceeded in 15 minutes after preparation of the composite in construction. Slump Time Time Influence from Time Fig Relationship between Slump and Time
Mobility decreases with temperature rising –Temperature must be noticed to get required workability – More mixed water in summer should be used than that in winter Temperature Influence from Temperature Slump Temperature Fig Relationship between Slump and Temperature
Test condition also has effects on the mobility of the concrete composite Device condition-parameter Concrete condition-humidity, smoothness Influence fromTest Condition Influence from Test Condition
