Theory regarding Standard deviation of grade wise concrete

Theory regarding standard deviation calculation

Firstly we have to know the limitation of assumed standard deviation as per coral provision IS10262

SL.Nos	GRADE OF CONCRETE	Assumed standard deviation (N/mm2) or MPA
1	M10	3.5 N/mm2
2	M-15
3	M-20	4.0 N/mm2
4	M-25
5	M-30	5.0N/mm2
6	M-35
7	M-40
8	M-45
9	M-50
10	M-55

Please be noted as per Is code we considered tolerance for standard deviation (+/- 1) N/mm2 ,with reference to the quality of building materials received at site.

While designing the Grade of concrete we consider Target mean strength in which we conform to our client that while doing testing for compressive strength of cube not more than 5% will fail or fall

Target means strength= fck ( i.e grade of concrete)+1.65 * Standard deviation

Formula to find standard deviation-√ (∑(x-x¯)²/n-1)

x =Compressive Strength of cube (average of 3 nos of cube)

x¯ =Mean of x (means total sum of strength divided by total nos of cube

N = Total number of counts

Steps to find the standard deviation :-

1. Find all the required parameter from the format of cube test report maintained on the daily basis.
2. After that put all values of parameter on the given formula for finding the standard deviation
3. Be noted take square root after calculation of inside variance value.

Definition : If we are getting less value of standard deviation as per the required value of deviation then it means we have a good and better quality control of materials used for production of concrete
