Abstract
Concrete is one of the major and widely used construction materials which is used to construct earthquake-resistant structures, high-rise buildings, flyovers and bridges, dams, etc. Workability is a property of concrete that determines the flowing ability or the working ability of concrete. So, it becomes an important property to be determined for construction and research purposes. There are various laboratory methods to assess the workability of the concrete for industrial and research purposes. The present work focuses on the development of a single apparatus called Conical Funnel which can assess all the workability criteria for normal compacting concrete and self-compacting concrete (SCC). This research paper also focuses on the feasibility studies of various trial studies on normal and self-compacted concrete and also uses regression analysis to find out the correlation between the output of conventional apparatus and Conical Funnel apparatus.
