hello everybody,I would like to know if there is among you who have already tried to test the flowability of CLSM with a slump: we maintain the slump reversed (at back)on a smooth and nonporous surface and we fill it with the material, and then we raise vertically and we measure the diameter of the spread. don't you think that would be easier than the "flow cylinder"(ASTM D6103). an advantage with this method is that the slump is available on all the building sites.
thanks in advance for your opinions and your suggestions.
