Chapter 7.3, Problem 38E
Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) is a relatively new construction material that is characterized by strong adhesive properties with other materials. The article “Adhesive Power of Ultra High Performance Concrete from a Thermodynamic Point of View” (J. of Materials in Civil Engr., 2012: 1050–1058) described an investigation of the intermolecular forces for UHPC connected to various substrates. The following work of adhesion measurements (in mJ/m2) for UHPC specimens adhered to steel appeared in the article:
- a. Is it plausible that the given sample observations were selected from a
normal distribution ? - b. Calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the true average work of adhesion for UHPC adhered to steel. Does the interval suggest that 107 is a plausible value for the true average work of adhesion for UHPC adhered to steel? What about 110?
- c. Predict the resulting work of adhesion value resulting from a single future replication of the experiment by calculating a 95% prediction interval, and compare the width of this interval to the width of the CI from (b).
- d. Calculate an interval for which you can have a high degree of confidence that at least 95% of all UHPC specimens adhered to steel will have work of adhesion values between the limits of the interval.

Let yt = φyt−1 + et with et ∼ WN(0,σ2) and |φ| < 1. Consider the over-differenced process wt = (1 − L)yt.(i) What is the model followed by wt? (ii) Is wt invertible? (iii) Obtain V [wt] and compare its magnitude with V [yt] and hence comment on the impact of over-differencing on the variance of a stationary process.
Please show me your solutions and interpretations. Show the completehypothesis-testing procedure.An article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering (1999, Vol. 125, pp. 59–75) describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5 °C using α = 0.05.
In the article “Influence of Crack Width on Shear Behaviour of SIFCON” (C. Fritz and H. Reinhardt, High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites: Proceedings of the International RILEM/ACI Workshop, 1992), the maximum shear stress τ of a cracked concrete member is given to be τ = τ0(1 − kw), where τ0 is the maximum shear stress for a crack width of zero, w is the crack width in mm, and k is a constant estimated from experimental data. Assume k = 0.29 ± 0.05 mm−1. Given that τ0 = 50 MPa and w = 1.0 mm, both with negligible uncertainty, estimate τ and find the uncertainty in the estimate.
