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.

Generally, what is the early strength requirement (in MPa) for concrete in practical construction, so that the formwork can be removed? Is this mentioned in any US or British standards? Thanks.
