Typical ECC mix design omits normal aggregates and adopts only fine micro silica sands.
Few studies report the possibility of using river sands in ECC mix design. While the resulting …

This study finds that the slip-hardening parameter (β) increases with the increasing of PE
(Polyethylene) fiber inclination for UHS-UHDCC (ultra-high strength and ultra-high ductility …

Nowadays, there is a growing need to reduce the environmental impact generated by the
use of inorganic materials for building applications. The aim of this work is to investigate the …

High ductility cementitious composites (HDCCs) exhibit a robust tensile ductility
accompanied by multiple cracking and a small crack width. The excellent performance of …

High ductility cementitious composites (HDCCs) exhibit robust tensile ductility accompanied
