This paper describes the influence of the core specimen's number on the sample mean and the standard deviation of concrete strength in structure. In this study, about 10 ~ 40 core specimens collected from the three reinforced concrete structures at each floor, built at about 1955 ~ 1965, are used. As a result, it is revealed that the mode of sample mean at three core specimens almost equals to the population mean, and that the mode of sample standard deviation at six core specimens almost equals to the population standard deviation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
