The results of 220 mixes obtained during the 24 years of study.
| Variable | The final mean value (%) | 95% significant interval | Coefficient of variation (%) | Notes |
| c/w ratio | 98 | 90–103 | 6 | Slightly lower than estimated | Water content | 104 | 92–111 | 11 | Slightly higher than estimated | Cement content | 103 | 95–108 | 7 | Interdependent on the previous two variables | CA content | 104 | 94–113 | 10 | Slightly higher than estimated | FA content | 95 | 88–103 | 8 | Slightly higher than estimated |
