NCHRP Web-Only Document 110: Supplementary Cementitious Materials to Enhance Durability of Concrete Bridge Decks CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTED RESEARCH Effectiveness of Approach Optimizing concrete mixtures for durability is a challenge that must be dealt with on a local basis. The raw materials used in such concretes, particularly the SCMs, which are included because of the great potential for improved performance, are likely to vary significantly depending on their source and may not be universally available.

NCHRP Web-Only Document 110: Supplementary Cementitious Materials to Enhance Durability of Concrete Bridge Decks Suggested Research and Implementation During this project, the experimental design approach outlined in the Methodology was successfully implemented for one situation, the Hypothetical Case Study. NCHRP Report 566 was developed to be a stand-alone guide to allow this approach to be applied in a wide range of situations.

NCHRP Web-Only Document 110: Supplementary Cementitious Materials to Enhance Durability of Concrete Bridge Decks The current user-interface is spreadsheet-based and requires the user to fill in appropriate cells, which can be confusing and difficult to locate for users unfamiliar with the Methodology or the software. The ease of use of the tool could be improved by incorporating dialogs that prompt the user to perform tasks in the correct sequence and query the user for information where needed.
