(c) False slump

(d) Rigid sump

I had been asked this question in an interview for job.

The origin of the question is Finishing Work in section Rules and Methods of Measurement of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Shear slump

The best I can explain: This type of slump is characterized by the general drop of the concrete mass evenly without visible signs of deterioration or disintegration.

Shear Slump: It indicates that the concrete mix is deficient in cohesion. This type of slump leads to segregation and bleeding. Henceforth in the long run effecting the durability of the concrete.

Collapse Slump: This type of slump is indicates that the mix of concrete is simply too wet. The mix is considered to be harsh and lean.
