Explain why an increase in water-to-cement ratio for a
fixed amount of cement results in lower concrete
strength.

Discuss the cement hydration process and its importance in developing the strength of concrete. Explain how it works according to the stages (dormant,setting,hardening stages). Discuss the setting time, its importance in concreting, and a practical solution to delay the initial setting time. Explain how the cement fineness, water-to-cement ratio, and curing temperature can promote or hinder the hydration.
