Bolomey equation:
fc=a*(C/W+b), where C and W are the content of cement and water respectively; a and b are parameters.
Can we use the Bolomey equation with a very low water/binder ratio (say, less than 0.3 or even 0.25) ?
Actually, the Bolomey equation is a fit equation. You should certainly be able to obtain the parameters of a and b through tests.
The parameters a &b results from the tests will be used , but we didn't recomand for very low W/C ratio
Fuller method is probably better For very dry mixtures

It may be helpful.
I still prefer you get your own parameters
Does the water/cement ratio affect the pH value in cement paste/concrete? Why? Any references? Thanks.
