Abstract

Concrete slump test (or simply the slump test) is an in situ test or a laboratory test used to determine and measure how hard and consistent a given sample of concrete is before curing. The concrete slump test is, in essence, a method of quality control. A higher slump concrete result means the concrete sample is not stable and a lower slump concrete result means the concrete is firm. A manual slump test is the problems that always occur when applying this method test. Inconsistent speed and lateral vibration while lifting up the cone and human error that cause the cone move in slight angular direction are the main problem that need to be counter with. This project presented is to overcome the problems occur in handling the manual concrete slump test. The aims of the project are to design and produce semi automatic slump test prototype and to analyst and test the functionality of the lifter. Several designs of semi automatic slump test were designed and the electrical motor lifter was selected. The design uses electric motor lifter to move the slump cone in proper direction as well as overcoming the problems occur in manually done slump test. This selected design then fabricated and undergo the functionality test. In the end, the collected data from the functionality test between manual operation and semi automatic slump test is analyzed with using Pearson correlation. The result carried out shown that The Semi Automatic Slump Test could replace the manual slump test due to Pearson Correlation result’s obtained 0.9807 nearly to 1. Semi automatic Slump equipment is compatible and fits with the slump test value obtained by standard equipment such as that described in British Standard (BS 1881: Part 102: 1983).
