Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The preceding geometric concepts about the distribution of pores in cement made it possible to obtain a relation for determining the quantitative effect of the water/cement ratio on the strength of concrete satisfactorily coinciding with the experimental equations.

  2. 2.

    The given scheme and the equation obtained can serve not only for calculations on a par with other equations but also for illustrating the effect of the water/cement ratio on the strength of concrete, since they simply and clearly relate the strength of concrete to its weakness due to porosity of the hardened cement.
