Civil Engineering

The drop of a fresh-concrete cone, used to measure workability.

In civil engineering, slump is the amount a moulded cone of fresh concrete subsides when the mould is lifted, used as a simple index of its workability and consistency. Domone (1998), in Cement and Concrete Research, examines the slump (and slump-flow) test for high-workability mixes. Here slump is a measured deformation of fresh concrete, not a mass of ground sliding downslope.[1]

Unit
One slump value (the vertical subsidence of the cone), in millimetres.
Recovery means
Lift the standard cone of fresh concrete and measure how far it subsides.
Measured by
By the slump (or slump-flow) test on fresh concrete.

Geomorphology

A mass of earth that moves downslope on a curved surface (rotational slide).

In geomorphology, a slump is a landslide in which a coherent mass of soil or rock moves downslope along a concave (rotational) failure surface, often leaving a back-tilted block and a steep scarp. Hungr, Leroueil, and Picarelli (2013), in Landslides, place the rotational slide (slump) within the updated Varnes classification of landslide types. Here slump is a rotational mass movement of ground, not the subsidence of a concrete cone.[2]

Unit
One rotational slide (its scarp, displaced block, and failure surface).
Recovery means
Look for a back-tilted block above a curved failure surface and a crescent scarp.
Measured by
By field mapping of the scarp and displaced mass; slope-stability analysis.
