Utilization of the Statistical Method of Planned Experiment (PLANEX) for research of building materials properties

Abstract

The mathematical (statistical) Method of planned experiment (PLANEX) enable creation of mathematical models of choice for example building materials properties functionality (e.g. water absorption, strength) on selected independents of variables (for example value of firing temperature, quantity of cement) in selected intervals by force of statistically rated multinominals. All calculations are performed in MS Excel software. The paper describe particular example of PLANEX utilization in development of new ceramic bodies – ceramic tiles.
