One way to reduce the consumption of cement is to optimize its use. Many known methods of concrete design, based on the Abrams law and the Bolomey method. Therefore, the authors chose those methods for analysis. The concrete composition with the assumed strength class, calculated by any method differs significantly. This applies especially to the cement content, as its content in the composition of concrete varies from 20 to 50%. The authors presented the computational analysis and the results of laboratory tests of concrete samples with the assumed compressive strengths of 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 MPa and for two consistency classes plastic and liquid. Moreover, the tensile strength tests results of the samples due to splitting presented. The authors defined the scope of application of the calculation methods according to the Abrams and Bolomey methods.
