What is meant by Workability of Concrete?
In case of long haul involved in delivering ready-mixed concrete to the site of work, concrete is mixed intermittently to reduce the bad effect of continuous mixing. A pertinentpoint to note in this connection is that when the concrete is mixed or agitated from time to time with a short interval, the normal rule of initial setting time is not becoming applicable.The concrete that is kept in agitation, does not exactly follow the setting time rule as applicable to concrete kept in an unagitated and quiescent condition.workability is the ease and homogenity with which the concrete can be mixed , transported , poured , consolidated and finishedThe more the water cement ratio the more workable the concrete will be , but it does not mean that we should keep on increasing water cement ratio because it will decrease the strength and will cause bleeding and segregation of concrete 08ce69 quaid e awam university nawabshah
