Solved: The article “Wind-Uplift Capacity of Residential

Chapter 6, Problem 9E

(choose chapter or problem)

The article “Wind-Uplift Capacity of Residential Wood Roof-Sheathing Panels Retrofitted with Insulating Foam Adhesive” (P. Datin, D. Prevatt, and W. Pang, Journal of Architectural Engineering, 2011:144–154) presents a study of the failure pressures of roof panels. A sample of 15 panels constructed with 8-inch nail spacing on the intermediate framing members had a mean failure pressure of 8.38 kPa with a standard deviation of 0.96 kPa. A sample of 15 panels constructed with 6-inch nail spacing on the intermediate framing members had a mean failure pressure of 9.83 kPa with a standard deviation of 1.02 kPa. Can you conclude that 6-inch spacing provides a higher mean failure pressure?
