Supplementary Cementing Materials for Use in Concrete

Explore the use of supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) and their impact on durability, workability, economy, and sustainability of concrete. This webinar provides a comprehensive overview on the most common SCMs used in concrete construction: fly ash, slag cement, silica fume, and natural pozzolans. Topics include the production process, physical and chemical properties, and their effects on both the fresh and hardened properties of concrete.

At the end of this course attendees will be able to:

1. Identify the four main types of SCM’s used in concrete construction;
2. describe, in general, the production processes of the industrial by-products used in concrete; fly ash, slag, and silica fume; and
3. list the advantages to using more than one SCM in combination with portland cement (ternary blends) in concrete.

Verified participants in this webinar will be awarded 0.1 CEUs (usable for 1.0 PDH in most places) sent via email after submitting an evaluation.

Registration for this webinar includes a downloadable PDF entitled Fly Ash, Slag, Silica Fume and Natural Pozzolans, Chapter 3 of PCA’s publication: Design and Control of Concrete, EB001.
