Its essential to understand the chemistry of the problem. Go for a technical sheet available online.

Ahmed Mahdi

Good question.

Mohammed Salah Nasr

Interesting question. In general, the higher the water cement ratio, the lower of strength and many durability properties. However, each property may have its optimum w/c.

Saleh Abd El-Aleem Mohamed El-Awney

Very useful and interesting discussion, thanks to all.

Jean-Baptiste Mawulé Dassekpo

Interesting discussion !

Wael Imad Mahmood

According to the literature w/c of 0.5 is a suitable to achieve a good strength a good durability
