This study investigates the autogenous self-healing capability of one-year-old engineered
cementitious composites (ECC) with different mineral admixtures to understand whether self …

Traditional PVA fiber-reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) show high
tensile ductility and superior durability with tight crack width, but the high cost and embodied …

This paper investigates the self-healing behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites
(ECC) with focus on the influence of curing condition and precracking time. Four-point …

In order to increase the strength and lower the cost, this study experimentally investigated
the effects of hooked-end steel fiber, basalt fiber and calcium sulfate on mechanical …

Concrete is being extensively used in construction industry worldwide because of its
availability and affordability but it is vulnerable to crack formation. Because of cracking …

The need for viable materials in sustainable infrastructures is driving the creation of
multifunctional strain-hardening cementitious composites that combine brittle cementitious …

Abstract Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) are emerging construction materials
with proven mechanical and durability characteristics. These outstanding properties make …

This paper discusses the influence of high volumes of fly ash and micro polyvinyl alcohol
(PVA) fibers on the fire resistance and microstructure of engineered cementitious …

Concrete has relatively high compressive strength (resists breaking when squeezed) but
significantly lower tensile strength (vulnerable to breaking when pulled apart). The …

Corrosion factors including microbiologically induced corrosion accelerate cracking and
deteriorations in a sewer concrete pipe especially in regions close to the pipe crown and …
