I am currently modeling concrete material behavior under different loading conditions, and it requires a series of realistic input material properties assignments for cement paste matrix. In order to understand the general trends of cement paste strength properties (i.e., compressive strength and tensile strength), I would like to see if anyone is capable of providing a substantial data or any kind of relation that can be presented in terms of the water-to-cement ratio and the cement paste strength.
Thank you.
I will suggest a robust literature review to collect various data from published results. Putting such together can make an interesting data set that will bring together many factors like effects of different binders, water to cement ratio, etc!
In case using mortar for modelling, you may use the following paper:

Also Construction and building materials Journal is a rich source for this kind of data.
