  2. Water–cement ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watercement_ratio

    More water is therefore used than is chemically and physically necessary to react with cement. Watercement ratios in the range of 0.40 to 0.60 are typically used. For higher-strength concrete, lower w/c ratios are necessary, along with a plasticizer to increase flowability.

  3. Abrams' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrams'_law

    The law states the strength of a concrete mix is inversely related to the mass ratio of water to cement. [1] [2] As the water content increases, the strength of concrete decreases. Abrams’ law is a special case of a general rule formulated empirically by Feret: = / where S is the strength of concrete A and B are constants and A=96 N/mm2, B=7 ...

  4. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    The ultimate strength of concrete is influenced by the water-cementitious ratio (w/cm), the design constituents, and the mixing, placement and curing methods employed.All things being equal, concrete with a lower water-cement (cementitious) ratio makes a stronger concrete than that with a higher ratio. [2]

  5. Concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    Separate paste mixing has shown that the mixing of cement and water into a paste before combining these materials with aggregates can increase the compressive strength of the resulting concrete. [69] The paste is generally mixed in a high-speed, shear-type mixer at a w/c (water to cement ratio) of 0.30 to 0.

  6. Pervious concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervious_concrete

    Pervious concrete consists of cement, coarse aggregate (size should be 9.5 mm to 12.5 mm) and water with little to no fine aggregates. The addition of a small amount of sand will increase the strength. The mixture has a water-to-cement ratio of 0.28 to 0.40 with a void content of 15 to 25 percent. [8]

  7. Construction aggregate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_aggregate

    In Europe, sizing ranges are specified as d/D, where the d shows the smallest and D shows the largest square mesh grating that the particles can pass. Application-specific preferred sizings are covered in European Standard EN 13043 for road construction, EN 13383 for larger armour stone, EN 12620 for concrete aggregate, EN 13242 for base layers of road construction, and EN 13450 for railway ...

  8. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    Many types of pre-mixed concrete are available which include powdered cement mixed with an aggregate, needing only water. [citation needed] Typically, a batch of concrete can be made by using 1 part Portland cement, 2 parts dry sand, 3 parts dry stone, 1/2 part water. The parts are in terms of weight – not volume.

  9. Cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement

    Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel together. Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel , produces concrete . Concrete is the most widely used material in existence and is behind only water as the planet's most-consumed resource.
