This study is focused on statistical analysis of hemp concrete properties. The main objective is to determine statistically the variability of the three main properties, which are: material density, compressive strength and Young’s modulus. The analysis is done with respect to four main parameters, namely: the testing laboratory equipment and procedure, the hemp shiv type, the batch elaboration and finally the specimen size
