Dear All,

What is the maximum cylindrical compressive strength that can be achieved, basing on volumetric mix of concrete as follows.

1. 1:2:4
2. 1:1.5:3
3. 1:4:8

I would seek your expert opinion on if it is possible to achieve 3000 Psi cylinder strength using OPC and mix ratio (1:2:4) and 3750 Psi cylinder strength using OPC and mix ratio being (1:1.5:3) with out using any construction chemicals additionally.

Regards,
