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 …

Abstract Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) have recently demonstrated their
high performance with pseudo strain hardening (PSH) behavior in civil engineering …

Rapid repair and retrofit of existing infrastructures demand durable high-early-strength
materials that not only deliver sufficient strength within a few hours of placement but also …

Material laws for structural and durability design of conventional reinforced concrete
structures can be based on comprehensive results of intensive investigations during more …

In this paper, a method to simulate the tensile stress-strain behavior of strain hardening
cementitious composites (SHCC) is described. Experimentally obtained information on the …

This paper focuses on a micro-scale experimental investigation of cement-based materials
reinforced by short random fibers called Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) …

The success of the traditional orthotropic steel bridge deck may be due to its high strength to
weight ratio. However, fatigue damage has been experienced within heavily trafficked routes …

This paper provides an overview of an ongoing research project at The University of
Auckland that is investigating the potential of ductile fibre reinforced cementitious …

There are suitable test methods to determine fracture energy and strain softening of normal
concrete. SHCC have a pronounced pseudo-plastic behavior. Therefore it is questionable if …

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 …
