Advanced cementitious composites can be designed to have outstanding combinations of
strength (five to ten times that of conventional concrete) and energy absorption capacity (up …

The pseudo strain-hardening behavior of fiber reinforced engineered cementitious
composites (ECC) is a desirable characteristic for it to act as a substitute for concrete to …

This paper discusses the adequateness of the steady state flat crack criterion for crack
propagation in Engineered Cementitious Composites. The requirement of a minimum …

This paper discusses the mechanism appearing during fiber debonding in fiber reinforced
cementitious composite. The investigation is performed on the micro scale by use of a Finite …

Molluscan shell is a kind of natural composite with excellent fracture strength and fracture
