Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

Biting. Guilty as charged, and I ate myself for it.

So speaking of concrete, I was thinking about that slump test.

I could mix sand and water to any consistency you like. I could certainly mix it so that it would pass a slump test without adding any cement at all.

A slump test without cement would be like a cake without flour.

Or, as the song went......

By the way, I'm so glad you never mixed up the words "cement" & "concrete". Nothing is more tilting than hearing "I have a cement floor", or "I purchased a bag of concrete".

Concrete is the end product arising from the mixture of portland cement, aggregate, & water.

Same with ceiling & roof, so many people confuse them. Or slates & tiles.

Presenter & contractor.....


Still, can you dig where I'm coming from? A slump test is fakeable.

What do you think about all those businesses that are looting many of the offshore sandbanks for "aggregate"?

Can't help it Chris, it's a trade thing. Bit like "backraise".

Well no, not really. A slump test is just one part of a cradle to grave process, & the mix being tested comes from what is curently being laid, or poured. The RE or CoW would pretty soon notice if the poured mix did not set......be a bit pointless for the Contractor to "cheat", too.

Expand, please, Ralph? (Not as in Tom's waistline, but as in "I'm not sure what you mean").

You cant use sea dredged aggregate anymore - its considered a deleterious material

Exactly, hence my (usual) confusion.

We don't want this in our concrete, do we?

I know that people with lorries and Hiab's liberate some nice blocks of Derbyshire stone that have been lying about in the Peak District National Park for a few millennia,
