Abstract

It is not the purpose of this chapter to provide a short text on general statistical methods and procedures. Many sources, some of which are listed in the references, are already available that provide such information ingreat detail. Rather, the purpose is to identify situations that are peculiarto the testing and evaluation of cement and concrete in which statistical techniques can be of value, to suggest techniques that are appropriate to use in these situations, to provide, by references to other sources as much as possible, information about how to use these techniques in the given situations, and, last but not least, to point up some of the pitfalls and misconceptions that often cause problems in the application of statistical techniques.
