Water and cement are fundamental components used in the preparation of various construction materials, including hempcrete [1] and cement-based mixtures [2]. Their specific proportions are critical factors in determining the compressive strength of reinforced concrete [3] and artificial construction blocks [4].

claimA sensitivity analysis using a Random Forest model determined that water and cement proportions are the key factors influencing the compressive strength of reinforced concrete, while the addition of coarse aggregates negatively affects compressive strength.
measurementScioti et al. produced artificial construction blocks from stone waste by varying the amounts of sludge, water, cement, and compaction pressure, achieving compressive strengths ranging from 13.12 to 29.9 N mm−2, which met the threshold required for building construction.
procedureHempcrete is prepared by mixing hemp fibers with water, cement, and lime.
claimResearchers investigated a 233-sample database of cement-based materials, varying the proportions of cement, water, superplasticizers, silica fume, sand, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
