Conclusion of compacting factor test Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Compacting Factor Test is mainly used in laboratory to determine workability of concrete. The workability of concrete has also been defined as the amount of work required to place the concrete and to compact it thoroughly. It is not easy to measure the amount of work required to fully compact it. But it is simpler to apply a standard amount of work to the concrete and to measure its degree of compaction. Work is applied by dropping the concrete through a standard height into a cylindrical contai...
