The strength of the concrete will depend on how much water you use to mix it all together. Basically this means the more water you use to mix the concrete (very fluid) the weaker the concrete mix.

When water is added to the mix, it reacts with cement to form a paste that eventually hardens. As concrete dries it grows stronger which is called curing.
