Water/cement ratio
Strength of concrete depends on capillary porosity – not easily measurableCapillary porosity is proportional to w/c

Time
Compressive strength depends on time and w/cfc at 28 days = f’c = 1.5 fc @ 7 days

Maturity concept
Maturity = f (t x T)Concretes of same maturity have similar strengths regardless of combination of Tand t leading to the maturityNurse-Saul expression:Maturity (°C x days) = Σ at (T + 10)Where:
at = time of curing – daysT = temperature in °C10 °C = datum T below which hydration stops
