In this paper, the main strength of the relationship between water-cement ratio and concrete, and it uses the contrast test of different water cement ratio, finally, it gets the regular change between water cement ratio and concrete strength. The test results show that: cement. when the ratio of large stone: small stone: water: admixture is 340: 618: 1009: 433: 139: 6.8, the water-cement ratio of concrete is within the range of 0.371-0.479. The concrete strength of the sample decreases with the increase of the water-cement ratio. Finally, the relationship between the concrete strength and the water-cement ratio is obtained by fitting.

PS silt mixed soil is a high quality synthetic fill material made of foam material and sludge wasted. This paper indicates according to the test results and the previous studies that: the intensity of light-weight soils is increasing as the grey water ratio increases, and when the gray water ratio reaches a certain value, the strength of the growth rate is not large. Therefore, the research of the relationship of its strength and water-cement ratio for providing accurate design parameters of soil particles lightweight soil is very important. According to existing research results, a number of samples were made to study the relationship between strength and water-cement ratio, then the analyzed curves were obtained. In this paper, based on the gray Verhulst model, the variation regulation between the strength and water ratio was fitted. The study showed that the fitted curve was similar with the measured curve. It is found that the measured curves can be derived from fitted curve available, the related research can give good references for construction of EPS silt light-weight soil.

Generally the high density in high-strength concrete results in high strength, and so people often mix superplasticizer and particulate to increase the density of concrete, but ignoring the effect of coarse aggregate gradation on concrete strength. Referring to several Gradation Theories, this paper selects the coarse aggregate gradation with skeleton, uses uniform design method to test the compressive strength of high-strength concrete, and analyses the test results. It can be known from the test results of 7d and 28d concrete specimen that the concrete strength decreases linearly with water-cement ratio and sand ratio; The 7d’s concrete strength has higher variability due to low water-cement ratio with superplasticizer; The coarse aggregate skeleton is interfered by the increase of steel slag and sand rate, and the concrete strength decreases with limited cement paste. Furthermore, the steel slag with less than 30% addition has little effect on concrete strength and it can increase the cement’s possibility of contacting to water, and reduce the amount of cement without lowering the concrete strength. The influential degree on the compressive strength of concrete is followed by ascending sequence of steel slag content, sand ratio and water-cement.

Abstract: Efficient water reducer plays a key role in the allocation of high performance concrete. The experiment uses four grades concrete of C15, C20, C25 and C30 by setting the different water-cement ratio. Each grade is divided into adding water reducing agent and not adding.To test the concrete strength of eight groups by testing compressive strength gains the relationship between the concrete strength added water reducer and water-cement ratio. Through processing experimental data, to get the role water reducer played in conditions of different water cement ratio. What’s more, to gain the corresponding quantitative calculation formula by exerting the regression analysis.

This study, third in the series, following from ground limestone and Class F fly ash, evaluates, as a cement constituent, the effect of using ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) on the strength development of concrete, and consequently its embodied carbon dioxide (CO2e). The paper has been built from systematically analysing, evaluating and modelling the extensive data-matrix developed, having 85,099 data points, from the information sourced from 663 studies published in English, during 1974 to 2020, by 1,672 authors, working in 718 institutions in 49 countries, globally. It is shown that, at a given water/cement ratio, in comparison to Portland cement (PC), the use of GGBS results in a reduction in 28-day concrete strength, which increases with GGBS content, at a rate determined by the strength of concrete, GGBS fineness, and curing of concrete. It is also shown that, as to achieve a 28-day design strength, a lower water/cement ratio is required with a PC/GGBS blended cement than PC, this will reduce the actual CO2e savings that can be realised with the use of GGBS as cement constituent in manufacturing concrete. Finally, it is shown that GGBS is more effective in lowering CO2e of concrete than FA and GLS.

Waste rubber tires that cannot be processed for useful applications are numbered in the millions around the world. The build up of old rubber tires in landfills is commonly considered a major threat to the environment, and it is unquestionably a burden on landfill space. This research project was an investigation into the possibility of using fine rubber particles in concrete mixtures. The experimental testing program was designed to study the effect of the addition of crumb rubber, as replacement of a portion of fine aggregates (sand), on the strength of concrete. Rubber was added to concrete in quantities of 5%, 10%, and 15% by volume of the mixture. Three different water/cement ratios were used: 0.47, 0.54, and 0.61. A total of 180 concrete cubes were made. The cubes were tested in compression at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d with the load continuously and automatically measured until failure. The load values were used to calculate compressive stress as related to different rubber contents and water/cement ratios. Compression test results were used to develop several plots relating rubber content and water/cement ratio to compressive stress of concrete. Test results gathered in this research project indicated that the addition of crumb rubber to concrete results in a reduced strength as compared with that of conventional concrete. Based on the experimental results, correlations have been developed to estimate the reduction in concrete strength as a function of the rubber content in the mix.Key words: compressive strength, concrete, crumb rubber, rubberized concrete.

In order to detect the influence of age on the experiment that use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determinate the original water-cement ratio (w/c) of hardened concrete, a series of concrete mixes are tested. Experimental results show that early ages do have an effect on the water-cement ratio of hardened concrete that determined from scanning electron microscopy, this effect will decrease while age increases. The relationship between capillary porosity, w/c and age is analyzed and a calculation equation is given.

The Impact

This paper studies the effect of water-cement ratio [w/ on the air-void parameters of cement concrete, which has a significant influence on the durability of concrete. Based on the experimental investigation, it is found that the impact on the air content of hardened concrete due to different water-cement ratio is not great. Test results also indicate that with the increase of water-cement ratio, the spacing factors also experienced a marked rise, and the mean diameters as well as the specific areas of air voids evidently increased or declined, respectively, which may lead to an adverse effect on the frost resistance of concrete.
