concrete slump for SOG
(OP)
Wondering what you ladies and gents are specifying these days for slump. We currently call out for 4" max slump for all concrete, except 3" for SOG. Its been in our general notes for a long time and I honestly don't know where it came from. Never had a question, comment, problem or concern, but a peer reviewer (SE) that I respect said these are "very low slump numbers".
To avoid tangents and long theoretical concrete mix discussions, I know the answer could be "it depends on ____", especially the mix design. But just looking for your typical slump range for the following that you may have on your general notes for average projects. We are in Florida, USA if that helps.

In short, it depends on the mix design.

In short, what about modifying our general notes allowing the mix design to add plasticizers and allow an increase in the slump, submit mix design for review?
