depends on your type and quality of materials like cement, agreegates, water, admixtures, additives, level of workmanship etc etc.

Why does concrete mix with low water cement ratio resulted in hardened concrete having higher strength than those with high water cement ratio?
Why does concrete mix with low water cement ratio resulted in hardened concrete having higher strength than those with high water cement ratio?
What is high strength concrete?
Concrete with compressive strength more than 55 MPa is known as high strength concrete.It is used in the construction of bridges, dams. etc.,High strength concrete is produced by adding normal constituents of concrete with admixtures.
Applications where tensile strength is the primary factor in material selection?
-Re-inforced cement concrete -High temperature services
Why are bridges made of steel and concrete?
Steel is used for its high tensile strength and the concrete is used for its high compression strength.
Why concrete named as high strength concrete?
Concretes from grade M-60 to M-80 are called as high strength concretes as per IS 456-2000
Why it is need to use high strength concrete in prestressed concrete?
to offer high resistance in tansion,shear and bond
Titanium is useful because it has a high ratio?
Titanium is useful because it has a high strength to weight ratio.
How water cement ratio and workability is related to compaction factor?
If you are talking about shrinkage, then quite a bit. To make concrete, cement and water react together. There is a specific amount of water required to hydrate the concrete. Any water extra must leave the concrete and while it makes the concrete more workable, hurts the concrete is several ways. The volume of the concrete will change by whatever excess water you have added. To get workability, it's always best to use a water reducing admixture.
Why suitable coarse and fine aggregate used in the concrete ingredient?
aggregates are used to concrete for following purposes: 1.if totally binding materials like cement is used in concrete, the cost of concrete will be high which is uneconomical. 2.to prevent high shrinkage of concrete mix fine aggregates are used. 3.to increase the volume of concrete mix aggregates are used.

What is heavier a steel beam or concrete beam?
Steel is heavier than concrete for the same volume, however steel buildings are generally lighter. This is because steel buildings utilize high strength of steel, so volume of steel in steel buildings is much smaller than volume of concrete in concrete buildings. In another words in steel buildings much less volume of material is needed for the same strength compared to concrete buildings.
