Basically, the force supplied by a concrete compression machine is a definite value. For normal concrete strength application, say below 50MPa, the stress produced by a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is sufficient for the machine to crush the concrete sample. However, if the designed concrete strength is 100MPa, under the same force (about 2,000kN) supplied by the machine, the stress under a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is not sufficient to crush the concrete cube. Therefore, 100mmx100mmx100mm concrete cubes are used instead to increase the applied stress to crush the concrete cubes.
For normal concrete strength, the cube size of 150mmx150mmx150mm is already sufficient for the crushing strength of the machine.

What is the number of cubes a 3-d object can hold?
That depends: * On the size of the 3D object * On the size of the cubes
How many concrete cubes to be taken from site for cube test?
6
What is 150mm in centimeters?
1cm = 10mm => 150mm = 15cm
How do you calculation standard deviation of concrete cubes?
You cannot calculate standard deviation for objects such as concrete cubes - you can only calculate standard deviation for some measure - such as side length, surface area, volume, mass, alkalinity or some other measure.
How many cubes are in 4 by 2 by 2?
It depends on the size of the cube
