Average Compressive strength = 26.67 N/mm 2. 15% of average compressive strength = 4.00 N/mm 2. So, the compressive strength of our 3 cubes must be in the range of. 26.67 – 4 = 22.67 N/mm2 and; 26.67 + 4 = 30.67 N/mm2. Obviously, the compressive strength of our 3 cubes is in the given range. Hence our test result is valid.
