✦ Synopsis

The cement hydration equation was used to determine the influence of the water to cement ratio, W/C, on the compressive strength of concrete up to the end of the hydration age. Using the hydration equation, the equations of the compressive strength of concrete were derived for five values of the ratio W/C equal to 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, 0.65, and 0.70. The curves of variation of the compressive strength versus the W/C ratio for the hydration age of 7, 28, 90 and 5475 days were drawn. Based on these curves a thorough study of the influence of the W/C ratio on the compressive strength of concrete was undertaken.

Good workability at construction site is essential for high quality concrete since concretes of bad workability are prone to yield low strength and poor durability properties since placement and consolidation procedures cannot be performed properly. Nevertheless, this is what usually encountered in
