ACI 214 provides a statistical analysis for concrete cylinder strength evaluation. ACI 214 derives the required average strength equations for concrete by using standard deviations. ACI 214 also provides the alternative required average strength equations for concrete by using coefficient of variation. Both approaches are based on normal distribution. But, the experimental data are not exact normal distribution. In present paper, the approach based on lognormal distribution are discussed and coMPared with the approaches based on standard deviations and the coefficient of variation of normal distribution. The experimental data are in situ data. Also, the modified required average strength equations by using a modified probability constant are proposed. The modified required average strength equations will lead to safer and cheaper concrete products. |
