Synopsis
The effect of the volumetric composition of cellular concrete, particularly water and air voids, on its compressive strength has been demonstrated to follow Feret's general formula. The increase in strength at all ages with a corresponding increase in water/cement ratio (opposite to that of mortar mixes) as obtained in the experiment has been shown to be consistent with Feret's formula. The inclusion of the degree of hydration in the modified form of Power's gel/space ratio further improves the correlation with strength when this is taken as the parameter.
