WHAT IS STANDARD DEVIATION?

When repeated measurements give different results, we want to know how
widely spread the readings are. The spread of values tells us something about
the uncertainty of a measurement. By knowing how large this spread is, we can
begin to judge the quality of the measurement or set of measurements.

The usual way to quantify spread is standard deviation. The standard deviation

of all the result. This is denoted by σ.

Standard deviation will be less if the BULKING OF SAND – A

quality control at site is better and COMPLETE GUIDE
most of the test results will be clustered mere the mean value. If quality control
is poor, the test results will have much different from mean value and
therefore, standard deviation will be higher.

Total=804 Total=359.20

Average Strength, μ = 804/20 = 40.2 MPa

Standard deviation = √[359.2/ (n-1)] = √(359.2/19) = 4.34 MPa

Where, n = Total number of samples

Coefficient of Variation = (Standard deviation/Average strength)*100

= (4.34/40.2)*100

= 10.80

So in Target Mean Strength=fck + 1.65 S we must use whether

S=4.34 or S=10.8 ??? Pls .

Why is code takes average of 4 consecutive samples in

acceptance criteria

Here the sample u represented is the avg of three specimen or

is it the specimen itself..?

Thanks Good information with calculations but what is the

conclusion we received 10.80 so what is the real result for it. Is
it ok if i have a M-40 grade than what go do as per is 456 s.d is
5.

 in notes of “Table 11 Characteristic Compressive Strength Compliance
Requirement

(Clauses 16.1 and 16.3)” of IS-456 2000, given as “the mean of test results of
all such samples shall be je!< + 4 N/mm2"

i want to know if the "test results" mean average value of standard 3 nos of

As per clause 15.4 of IS:456, test result means

average of the strength of 3 test specimens.
