Discussion
If a paste is 30 per cent capillary porosity by volume and a second is 15 per cent, which will generally be stronger and roughly why?
Answer: A
Strength depends steeply on porosity, so halving the capillary volume raises strength considerably. This is the underlying reason the water to cement ratio matters so much to the finished concrete. Porosity is the link between the mix design and the result.
