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 …

Polyvinylalcohol (PVA) fiber was created 50 years ago as the first Japanese organic fiber
and, it has been used for various applications since then. Especially, PVA fiber has been …

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Special Truss Moment Frame (STMF) is a relatively new type of
steel structural system that was developed for resisting forces and deformations induced by …

This paper addresses the group of fiber reinforced cementitious composites, which exhibit
strain hardening behavior due to the bridging of fine multiple cracks by short, well distributed …

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 presents both experimental and analytical studies for the development of an ECC
(Engineered Cementitious Composites) using ground granulated blast furnace slag (slag) …

There seems to be a remarkable development for short cut fiber-reinforced cement-based
composites in recent years. This new concept is being accepted and fulfills environmental …

Extensive research has been carried out on steel reinforced ECC (R/ECC) structural
elements including beams, columns, connections, and frames under simulated seismic …
