STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW PIN PENETRATION TEST

The paper which provides additional information about the statistical attributes of the pin penetration, reviews the background of the methods for estimating the in-place strength of concrete, and describes the experimental program and results. It was found that for the range of penetration values considered, the within-test variability is described by a constant standard deviation having an average value of about 0.015 in. On the average about one fourth of the test results conducted on 4 by 8-in. cylinders were outliers because of penetrations into coarse aggregate particles or large air voids. These and other study findings are discussed.
