it depends on the failure ........if the concrete is bleeding and segregated ...then NO it must not be allowed ...but if the concrete carries lower than the specified slump , admixtures on site can be added .................plastic slump varies much now a days as3rd generation SP,s are used ...so you have to read alot about it ....hope my answer is helpful a little .....Thanks
