The invention is directed to a method for designing cement slurry compositions based on toughness. The method addresses the problem of achieving a cement slurry with a desired toughness by iteratively selecting a cementitious material and water, including their concentrations, to form a cement slurry recipe. A toughness model, utilizing physicochemical properties of the recipe components, calculates the toughness of the slurry. The calculated toughness is compared to a predetermined toughness requirement. If the requirement is not met, the selection process is repeated with different materials or concentrations until the toughness requirement is satisfied. The resulting cement slurry recipe is used to prepare a cement slurry suitable for applications requiring specific toughness characteristics such as in wellbore cementing.
