Correct Answer - Option 5 : The concrete should be fully compacted

In 1919, Abrams' law states that "Assuming full compaction, and at a given age and normal temperature, the strength of concrete can be taken to be inversely proportional to the water-cement ratio."

\(σ = \frac{A}{{{B^{w/c}}}}\)

where,

σ = compressive strength of concrete

A, B = constants

w/c = mass ratio of water to cement
