If you get the mix wrong, the durability is reduced. Too little water makes an inadequate mixture, too much and you'll get a saturated mixture where the interior might not set (or you'll have to add more fly ash to balance it out).

Factors affecting mix design?
Compressive Strength Workability Durability Maximum Size of Aggregate Water/Cement Ratio Quality Control
What is the maximum water-to-cement ratio for dry shotcrete spray?
water cement ratoi teel me water cement ratio formula
What is water to cement ratio?
Water/cement ratio law states that the strength of concrete is only dependent upon water/cement ratio provided the mix is workable.Strength of concrete primarily depends upon the strength of cement paste.Similarly, the strength of the paste increases with cement content and decreases with air and water content.
What is the lowest water cement ratio?
0.4
How much water is required in 1 bags of cement?
it depends on the type of mix and water cement ratio.

How the moisture content of the aggregates obtainable at site affect the water content ratio specified?
Obviously, if the aggregates are in a surface wet condition, meaning the moisture content is greater than the absorption, that surface water increases the water-to-cement ratio and affects strength and durability.

Why does concrete mix with low water cement ratio resulted in hardened concrete having higher strength than those with high water cement ratio?

0.4
What is water to cement?
Water cement ratio is defined as the indicator of strength is the ratio of water used compared to the amount of cement.Lower the W/C ratio, higher will be the strength.A minimum of W/C ratio 0.3 should be adopted.
How much water is required in 1 bags of cement?
it depends on the type of mix and water cement ratio.
What effect has the quantity of mixing water have upon the quality of concrete?
the strength of concrete is effected by water /cement ratio as the water/cement ratio increases the strength of the concrete decreases
What is specific gravity of cement grout with 100 percent ratio of water and cement?
1.51
