Concrete Slump Workability Chart
Slump Workability Application
Very dry mixes in paving machines with high-powered vibration (binding concrete,
0-1” (0-25mm) Very Low
shallow sections)
Low-workabilty mixes that are used for foundations with light reinforcement /
1-2” (25-50mm) Low Pavements consolidated by hand-operated vibrators (mass concrete, beams,
walls, columns)
Medium workability mixes / manually consolidated flat slabs. Normal manually
2-4” (50-100mm) Medium placed reinforced concrete / heavily reinforced sections using mechanical vibration
(strip footings, heavily reinforced sections in slabs)
High High workabilty concrete for sections with congested reinforcement (pumped
4-7” (100-175mm)
concrete, trench fill, slipform work)
