1. A method of improving a wellbore treatment fluid, the method comprising:
providing a wellbore treatment fluid comprising one or more solid particulate and a physical property comprising at least a reactive index and a water requirement for each of the one or more solid particulate:
selecting a target value of a mechanical property for the wellbore treatment fluid;
measuring a value of a mechanical property of the wellbore treatment fluid and selecting using a correlation, a second concentration of one or more solid particulate in the wellbore treatment fluid such that a second wellbore treatment fluid comprising the second concentration of the one or more solid particulates meets or exceeds the target value of the mechanical property, wherein the correlation comprises a correlation of a mechanical property of the wellbore treatment fluid to at least reactive index for each of the one or more solid particulate and water requirement for each of the one or more solid particulate; and
preparing the second wellbore treatment fluid.
