This test assesses the likelihood of static segregation in self-consolidating concrete by measuring the distribution of coarse aggregates within a cylindrical sample, comparing the top and bottom portions.
It serves as a quality control measure, particularly for applications like deep sections (e.g., walls or columns), where segregation could impact performance.
Note that this method is unsuitable for self-consolidating concrete containing lightweight aggregates
The setup includes a sturdy base, three column sections, and two sliding separator blades, facilitating disassembly while retaining the concrete sample within the column sections.
