This course examines the use of multiple blends of cementitious materials for designing durable concrete structures. The use of ternary and quaternary blends to improve sustainability by designing for a long service life will be discussed.

This course is based on two recorded presentations from the ACI Spring 2015 Convention in Kansas City, MO:
1. Development of Ternary OPC/FA/SF Binder System for Bridge Decks Concrete by Jan Olek
2. Durability for 100 Years on the Shanghai East Sea Bridge: Ternary and Quaternary Blends by Robert Lewis

1. Explain the synergistic effects of using multiple Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) in a concrete mixture.
2. Recall methodologies for evaluating ternary and quaternary blends of materials for use in concrete.
3. Describe considerations for construction using ternary and quaternary blends of materials in concrete.
4. Identify approaches to specifying ternary and quaternary blends of materials for use in concrete.
