water cement ratio req for complete hydration is 0.25, but it is not workable, so we can use w/c upto 0.45 to 0.5, more w/c ratio leads to formation of microscopic pores and increases shrinkage.leads to decrease in strength.
taking 0.5 w/c ratio water req for 1 bag of cement is 25 litres.

Which IS Code/American Code applied for coupler test of steel
In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
