In case of a dry sample, slump will be in the range of 25-50 mm. But in case of a wet concrete, the slump may vary from 150-175 mm. So the value of slump is specifically mentioned along the mix design and thus it should be checked as per local location.

Reinforced foundation walls and footings:

a. Maximum Slump 75mm

b. Minimum Slump 25mm
