- A measure of consistency and water content in a freshly mixed concrete. A stiffer mixture will have a low slump. Typical slump for most mixtures is between 3 – 5 inches. Slump is measured from a specimen immediately after removal of a cone shaped mold. Unlike ready-mixed concrete, pavers are zero slump (or “no slump”) concrete because of low water content.
- The “wetness” of concrete. A 3 inch slump is dryer and stiffer than a 5 inch slump.
