MA State Building Code, 9th ed, Residential Volume > 4 Foundations > R404 Foundation and Retaining Walls > R404.1 Concrete and Masonry Foundation Walls > R404.1.3 Concrete Foundation Walls > R404.1.3.3 Concrete, Materials for Concrete, and Forms > R404.1.3.3.4 Proportioning and Slump of Concrete
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Proportions of materials for concrete shall be established to provide workability and consistency to permit concrete to be worked readily into forms and around reinforcement under conditions of placement to be employed, without segregation or excessive bleeding. Slump of concrete placed in removable forms shall not exceed 6 inches (152 mm).

Exception: When approved, the slump is permitted to exceed 6 inches (152 mm) for concrete mixtures that are resistant to segregation, and are in accordance with the form manufacturer's recommendations.

Slump of concrete placed in stay-in-place forms shall exceed 6 inches (152 mm). Slump of concrete shall be determined in accordance with ASTM C 143.
