Operating characteristic curves in monitoring of strength in ready-mixed concrete

Statistical conformity criteria for compressive strength of concrete are the matter debate. Statistical criteria can have prejudicial effects to quality and safety of construction. The paper is concerned with the application of operating-characteristic curves to the monitoring of compressive strength in ready-mixed concrete. In this paper the crude Monte Carlo simulation method has been applied to obtain OC-curves for different compound conformity criteria and normal distribution type of concrete strength.
