Slump test of ready-mixed concrete on site is an indispensable operation before pouring concrete.

Don't look at the dusty face of concrete on the construction site, it has to have a "key physical examination" before it "takes up its post"! It is the slump test of ready-mixed concrete on site, which is an essential operation before pouring concrete. The test depends on whether the three elements of fluidity, water retention and cohesiveness of concrete are qualified or not?

The worker uses a conical cylinder to pack three layers of concrete. Each layer is pounded 25 times with an iron bar to ensure that it is compacted. Then the top is scraped flat. Then the vertical lifting cylinder allows it to collapse freely. After observing for 30 seconds, the collapse height is measured. Then it can be judged whether it is qualified by checking whether there is water seepage and stratification.

From the mixing station to the construction site, the time, temperature and admixture reaction on the road will affect the state of concrete. If it is too dry to fill the formwork, it will be layered if it is too thin, and it will collapse if it is not sticky. So such a simple experiment measures not only the height, but also the strength of the building.

Highway construction investment statistics from January to March 2026 show that the cumulative investment since the beginning of the year has a certain scale, with a cumulative year-on-year rate of -5.20%. The investment situation varies greatly from region to region, with some regions increasing and some regions decreasing year on year. Among them, Beijing's cumulative year-on-year growth is more prominent, reaching 60.80%; Henan's cumulative year-on-year decline is more obvious, -46.40%. On the whole, the year-on-year changes of highway construction investment in different regions reflect different development trends.
