In case of under water mass concrete structure, w/c ratio should be high as the concrete needs high degree of work ability. Similarly for thin concrete structures also.

In water, the thin like structure require 0.55 wc ratio. Why it is increasing in water every structure will given high wc ratio from a supposed one.

How is it possible? For underwater?
For thin structures which remain continuously underwater, the water-cement ratio by weight should be 0.55.
For thin structures which remain continuously underwater, the water-cement ratio by weight should be 0.55.

Why massive concrete structures which remain continuously under water w/c ratio is high as compare to drying & wetting concrete structure?

AS W/C Ratio increases strength decreases right then how can we use those high ratios at important places ?

On high workability it easy to work on those concrete. So we use more water cement like 0.55 or 0.65.

.55 ratio means w/c= .55
Where the weight of water = .55 × weight of cement
1kg = 1L.
Where the weight of water = .55 × weight of cement
1kg = 1L.

Can any one keep reference for above mentioned W/C ratios?

.65 wc ratio its bit high, and asking for segregation.
