| Abstract: | In the course of development of the Russian State Standard GOST 18105-86 “Concrete. Rules for Acceptance Control” the major concern was to ensure a prescribed level of structural reliability with minimum cement consumption. In order to achieve this goal, a new mathematical model of the acceptance control of concrete was suggested and on the basis of the model Monte Carlo simulation was performed. With the help of this technique different procedures of the acceptance control of concrete used in GOST 18105-86 were examined. The problems to determine within and between batch coefficients of variation, to specify minimum required strength of concrete, to check feasibility of batch rejection using minimum experimental value of concrete strength, to verify experimentally the GOST 18105-86 rules for acceptance control of concrete were stated and solved. The obtained results are included in GOST 18105-86. |
