Practice question

A concrete pavement load arrives with low slump, and the contractor wants to add water even though the truck has already exceeded the allowed drum revolutions for the project. What should the inspector do?

  1. Allow the water because slump is more important than revolution count
  2. Disallow the water addition and follow the contract process for disposition of the load
  3. Add water but skip the slump retest
  4. Place the load only in the shoulder without documenting it

Answer: B — Disallow the water addition and follow the contract process for disposition of the load
