The document describes conducting a slump test to determine the workability of concrete. A slump test measures the consistency or ability of fresh concrete to flow without segregation. Consistency is expressed by the amount of subsidence or "slump" of a concrete sample when a slump cone is lifted. A higher slump indicates more workable concrete suitable for tasks like beams and slabs, while a lower slump is suitable for road work. The test results will be affected by factors like the water-cement ratio.
