Per Table 10.3, the suggested standard deviation σ for M 20 grade concrete with 'GOOD' degree of control is:
A{'text': '2.3 N/mm-square', 'label': 'A'}
B{'text': '4.6 N/mm-square', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': '3.6 N/mm-square', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': '5.6 N/mm-square', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. {'text': '4.6 N/mm-square', 'label': 'B'}
1. Table 10.3 lists σ for M 20: Very Good = 3.6, Good = 4.6, Fair = 5.6 N/mm².
2. 'Good' control implies weigh-batching, periodic tests, controlled water and intermittent supervision per Table 10.4.
