Yukon is known as a result of its immense mineral wealth since the famous Klondike gold rush of the later 1890s, but the combination of an Arctic climate and remoteness from markets has limited the economic exploitation of such resources and the development of modern settlement. Like any

Testing are significant in solid development. Tests worried about new cement are to check the functionality of cement. Tests on solidified cement are to discover the quality, creep impacts, sturdiness, and so on.
Testing of Fresh Concrete
Following tests are usually utilized to gauge functionality of new concrete:
(1)Slump test
(2)Compaction factor test
(3)Flow test
(4)Kelly Ball test
(5)Vee Bee consistometer test
(1)Slump Test
Most regularly utilized technique for estimating the consistency of cement. It very well may be led in the field or in the research center. This test isn’t reasonable for wet or dry cement. Mechanical assembly for directing the droop test comprises of a metallic shape as a frustum of a cone with 20 cm base measurement, 10 cm top width and 30 cm stature. Steel packing bar of 16 mm dia, 0.6 m long with a projectile end is utilized for packing. The inner surface of the form is completely cleaned and put on a smooth, non-absorbant flat surface. Shape is loaded up with four layers of equivalent stature. Each layer is compacted by giving 25 blows with the packing bar consistently. In the wake of filling the form and roding, the abundance concrete is stuck off and leveled.

Form is lifted upwards from the solid promptly by raising it gradually. This permits the solid to die down. This subsidence is alluded to as droop of cement. The distinction in tallness of the form and that of the died down cement is estimated and detailed in mm which is taken as the droop of cement. Example of droop additionally speaks to the attributes of cement.
On the off chance that the droop of the solid is even, it is known as a genuine droop. On the off chance that one-portion of the cone slides down it is called as shear droop. Here, the normal estimation of the droop is considered. Shear droop additionally demonstrates that the solid isn’t firm and reflects isolation (Fig.).
