El concepto de trabajabilidad del hormigón no responde a una definición precisa. Este engloba varias propiedades interdependientes como la consistencia, la cohesión (adherencia interna), la tendencia a la homogeneidad, la plasticidad y la tixotropía. Desde el punto de vista científico, la consistencia resulta del frotamiento interno del conjunto de las partículas suspendidas en el agua de amasado, y puede ser estimada prácticamente mediante diversos métodos de examen. 2, record 1, Spanish, - trabajabilidad%20del%20concreto
