The durability of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) reinforced with polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA) fiber is investigated in this paper. ECCs have been realized as ductile strain …

Strain-hardening and magnitude of ductility in high performance fiber reinforced composites
are closely related to matrix properties, eg the pre-existing flaw size distribution and the …

Over the last decade, enormous strides have been made in creating engineered
cementitious composites (ECC) with extreme tensile ductility, on the order of several …

This paper presents an experimental study on the fundamental performances of a sprayed
engineered cementitious composite (ECC) in repair systems. ECC serving as a repair …

The Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) is a national
center of excellence in advanced technology applications that is dedicated to the reduction …

The relative high cost remains an obstacle for wider commercial use of Engineered Cement-
based Composites (ECC). By making extensive use of locally available, waste materials as …

This thesis reports the findings of an experimental study of the behavior of an innovative new
bridge pier system. The piers employ a modern construction technique using precast …
