Q64. What must be done if the concrete drops below the top of
the slump mold while the top layer is being rodded? -ANSWERS-
add additional concrete to keep an excess of
concrete above the top of the mold at all times.
ASTM C143- (Para 7.3)
If the rodding operation results in subsidence of the concrete
below the top edge of the mold, add additional concrete to keep
an excess of concrete above the top of the mold at all times.
Q65. Prior to lifting the mold, concrete must be removed
from__________. -ANSWERS-remove concrete from the area
surrounding the base of the mold.

Q66. After the final rodding, the sides of the slump mold should
be tapped lightly with the tamping rod.
A. True
B. False -ANSWERS-B. False
ASTM C143- (Para 7.3)
After the top layer has been rodded, strike off the surface of the
