Explain the relation between the strength and water-cement ratio of concrete. |
|
Answer» The WATER to cement ratio largely determines the strength and DURABILITY of the concrete when it is cured properly. The w/c ratio refers to the ratio of the weights of water and cement used in the concrete mix. A w/c ratio of 0.4 MEANS that for every 100 lbs of cement used in the concrete, 40 lbs of water is ADDED. |
