The influence of cement content on strength and durability of concrete.
Whenever I have a concrete material question, I defer to Properties of Concrete, by A. M. Neville. It presents relationships between cement and concrete strength, as well as many other properties.
Cheers,

From my scientific point of view, the cement content has a marked and important effect on the strength and durability of reinforced cement concrete. Several researchers have been given recommendations for the minimum cement content of cement concrete exposed to media.
Cement is an important and plays very vital role in the development of strength and durability of concrete.If OPC partially is replaced with SCMs will increase the durability performances of concrete.
The partially replaced of with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as silica fume (SF), fly ash (FA), granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), rice husk ash (RHA) and metakaoulin (MK) will increase the durability performance of cement concrete in aggressive media.
Dear Dr. Sajjad Ali Mangi , Thank you so much for your interesting and valuable comments.
Yes, cement is an important and plays very vital role in the development of strength and durability of concrete. The partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) will increase the strength properties and durability performance of cement concrete.
