This paper presents a detailed experimental investigation on the synergestic effects on ternary blended cementitious system containing fly ash and silica fume. The experimental programme consisted of three parts, the first part was to obtain the super plasticizer demand for each mix so as to obtain a workability of 110±5 , the second part was to determine the strength and durability properties of the mortar samples having different fly ash and silica fume contents and the third part was to determine the synergy existing in the ternary blends both in terms of durability and strength. Test results have shown that the ternary blended mixtures improved the mortar performance by improving the workability, strength and durability, therefore are applicable. Ternary mixtures performed in accordance with their ingredients however the degree of improvement that they contribute varies based on the selected dosage and type of SCMs. Synergy between the fly ash and silica fume is the main reason for the outstanding performance of ternary mixtures. The results obtained thus are encouraging for partial replacement.
