What is W/c ratio? How can we improve concrete without changing w/c ratio? ( Ans: By adding admixture, superplaticizer)

Question

Accepted Answer

W/c ratio is the ratio of water to cement in concrete. Admixtures like superplasticizer can improve concrete without changing w/c ratio.

W/c ratio is a crucial factor in determining the strength and durability of concrete.
It is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in the mix.
A lower w/c ratio means stronger and more durable concrete.
Admixtures like superplasticizer can improve workability, reduce water content, and increase strength without changing w/c ratio.
Other admixtures like air-entraining agents, accelerators, and retarders can also be used to improve concrete properties.
Proper curing and compaction techniques can also improve concrete strength and durability.
