Mar 19, 2019Water-Cement Ratio The W/C ratio on a concrete mix, is defined as the relationship and ratio between the weight of cement, the weight of water being added to the mix, plus added pozzolan. This characteristic has a direct and linear relationship with the mix strength. Durability A good concrete mix will provide you with concrete that could withstand severe weather conditions and

Jul 24, 2011The maximum reinforcement ratio in reinforced concrete is there to prevent brittle/unexpected failure. When you have excess steel in tension, concrete in compression is going to crush before the tension steel yields/plastically deforms. For a column I don't know why this would be a problem unless the column experiences a lot of bending.

Depending on the mix (especially the water-cement ratio) and time and quality of the curing, compressive strength of concrete can be obtained up to 14,000 psi or more. Commercial production of concrete with ordinary aggregate is usually in the 3,000 to 12,000 psi range with the most common ranges for cast-in-place buildings from 3,000 to 6,000 psi.
