This article provides a brief overview of several classes of fiber reinforced cement based
composites and suggests future directions in FRC development. Special focus is placed on …

The basic concept of a passive smart-healing cementitious composite has been
demonstrated, in the laboratory, to be feasible. The basic elements of this smart material …

This study addresses the characterization of fiber-matrix interfacial properties and the
apparent strength of high-strength hydrophilic fibers. Single-fiber pullout bond tests and …

In the last several decades, concrete with increasingly high compressive strength has been
used for structural applications. However, most of these materials remain brittle. In some …

This study has aimed at clarifying the sequence and saturation of multiple cracking evolution
in Random Short Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites with Pseudo Strain Hardening …

A study was made of the behavior of concrete reinforced with randomly distributed short
fibers under uniaxial tension. Five kinds of fibers were used to prepare the fiber reinforced …

A self-compacting engineered cementitious composite (ECC) was developed by optimizing
the micromechanical parameters, which control composite properties in the hardened state …
