CONCRETE WITHOUT COARSE AGGREGATE
TWO CASES WHERE COARSE AGGREGATE WAS ELIMINATED FROM CONCRETE AND SAND-CEMENT-MORTAR WAS USED FOR CONSTRUCTION ARE DESCRIBED. CONSTRUCTION SITES WERE LOCATED IN DESERT AREAS (NORTH AFRICA AND ARABIAN GULF) WHERE DUE TO THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS ELIMINATION OF COARSE AGGREGATE HELPED EXPEDITE CONSTRUCTION WHILE RESULTING IN ECONOMY. TWO NEW METHODS OF MEASURING THE CONSISTENCY OF SAND-CEMENT MORTAR ARE EXPLAINED. THESE METHODS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE THAT THEY CAN BE PERFORMED USING SMALL QUANTITIES OF SAND, I.E., 50-500 G (0.1-1.0 LB) AS COMPARED TO THE 10 KG (22 LB) THAT ARE REQUIED FOR THE CONVENTIONAL SLUM TEST. /AUTHOR/
