The concrete containing Type I cement in a structure is cured for 4 days at 65°F, followed by 3 days at 39°F. Use the maturity concept to estimate its strength as a percentage of the 28-day strength under standard curing. Maturity is defined as M = Σ(Ti + 50)(ti) where Ti is in degrees F and ti is in days.

A group of 15 tests on a given type of concrete had a mean strength of 4,000 psi and a standard deviation of 800 psi. Does this concrete satisfy the strength requirement for 3,500 psi concrete?

The concrete in the core of a spiral column is subjected to a uniform confining stress σ3 of 770 psi. What will the compressive strength σ1 be? The unconfined uniaxial compressive strength is 3,300 psi.

The concrete containing Type I cement in a structure is cured for 3 days at 53°F, followed by 3 days at 62°F. Use the maturity concept to estimate its strength as a percentage of the 28-day strength under standard curing. Maturity is defined as M = Σ(Ti + 50)(ti) where Ti is in degrees F and ti is in days.

A group of 25 tests on a given type of concrete had a mean strength of 4,600 psi and a standard deviation of 800 psi. Does this concrete satisfy the strength requirement for 4,000 psi concrete?
