b. slum cone test c. slump cone test d. slamp cone test 9. It is a type of segregation in poorly-made concrete where water appears at the concrete surface after placing and compacting, but not set. a. bleeding b. finishing c. scaling d. peeling 10. These are self-contained pumps consisting of a truck and frame, the pump itself, and extensions which can reach heights or distances ranging from about 16 to 200 feet. a. line pump b. boom pump c. angle pump d. shooting pump 11. This is done in order to add texture and style to almost any type of concrete surface. a. placing b. curing c. garnishing d. finishing 12. This process is done to allow the concrete to harden as a result of hydration.
