Compaction Factor Test for Workability of Concrete (Animated Video)

The compaction factor test is done to check the workability of concrete, on the basis of weight ratio between partially compacted to fully compacted concrete.

We can’t use the slump test for low workable concretes. Concretes we mostly use in mass dam structures or road pavements have significantly low values of slump. For all such concretes, compaction factor test give accurate assessment of workability.

Civil Engineers recommend this test for concretes when the slump value is less than 50 mm and for concrete mixes where compaction is to be carried out by vibration.

This test is particularly designed for the concrete whose workability is less and cannot be determined by usual slump test.

Compaction factor test is to check the workability of concrete in the laboratory. But you can also use this test in the field as well. Anyhow, the test procedure was originally formulated by United Kingdom based Road Research Laboratory.

Compaction factor test works on the principles of determining the degree of compaction. The special apparatus of compaction factor test allows the concrete to fall under standard heights. Afterwards, the degree of compaction and the compaction factor is measured by the density ratio.
