Comprehensive synthesis about “Ternary blended cement: An eco-friendly alternative to improve

resistivity of high-performance self-consolidating concrete against

elevated temperature”
A High-Performance concrete can be defined may be defined as concrete with strength and
durability significantly beyond those obtained by normal means. The required properties for
concrete to be classified as high performance therefore depend on the properties of normal concrete
achievable at a particular time and location. With its incredible properties as a concrete, it is most
used on constructions such as bridges, tunnels and etc. Of course, as it lives up to its name, High
performance concrete are very expensive because of the needed materials to be used to process such
high-quality concrete.
The research’s objective is to determine the change in properties in a high performance concrete when
Ternary blended cement method is applied and is exposed to elevated temperature. In gathering
their data, they used a Portland cement type II as their material for their methodology. As such,
they conducted a binary and ternary test to check the differences withing the properties of a
concrete, and how they affect the human health and environment.
A high-performance concrete is legitimately an in demand material in this present time and will be
in the near future because of its incredible properties. According to the research paper, it didn’t
show a promising result for a better environmental performance in the concrete mixtures. I do
understand it because of what materials are being used in a high performance concrete. It is not an
easy experiment because they should be assured that when using alternative ways, they should get
at least the same results as the original, or even better. Thus I highly doubt that ternary blended
cement method and elevating the temperature can be used as an alternative ways to achieve an eco-
friendly concrete. But of course it doesn’t mean that they wrong as their graphs and data shows
significant changes.
