Is there any equation which correlates the size of fine aggregates and the water requirement of concrete?

07 July 2018 1 9K Report

Water demand increases with decrease in size of fine aggregate particles. Is there any empirical equation which correlates the size of fine aggregates and the water demand of concrete if all the other factors are kept constant. Thanks

This article can help you because it is about the water demand of concrete mixtures
