slump test

A slump test is more commonly a medical test for back problems.

Once again, Wikipedia goes against the world trend by using an unusual definition. 203.45.11.48 (talk) 00:03, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say it's unusual at all. Maybe to you, but personal experience does not an encyclopedia make. Concrete is the most common man made material in the world. However many million tons placed per year on a public project, has been slump tested by thousands of technicians, under supervision of thousands of engineers, and monitored by thousands of project managers, concrete foremen, city inspectors, QA managers, and project superintendents. Unsual, it is not. I've removed the line about being 'more commonly' known as a medical test, which is unverifiable.
