For this purpose, it was necessary to build a database under the consultation of degree theses elaborated in the Dean of Civil Engineering of the Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado, 228 degree works were reviewed of which 66 complied with the established scope. The descriptive statistical analysis reported low and intermediate dispersions, it was concluded that the arithmetic mean obtained represents the data set by variable and the distributions obtained for water, cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate were Gen. Gamma (4P), Gen. Extreme Value, Weibull (3P) and Frechet respectively for the ACI method and for that of Porrero Hypersecant, Log-Pearson 3, Johnson SB and Chi-Squared (2P) as appropriate.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Gaceta Técnica}, author={Suárez Pereira, Mariana and Peña Fabiani, Fiamma Dubraska}, year={2021}, month={Feb.}, pages={3-30} }
