Durability of mechanically loaded Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is
investigated in this paper. ECC offers significant potential for durable civil infrastructures …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on steel-reinforced
engineered cementitious composite (ECC) beams subjected to accelerated corrosion by an …

An integrated life-cycle assessment and life-cycle cost analysis model was developed and
applied to enhance the sustainability of concrete bridge infrastructure. The objective of this …

In composite beams, shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear
forces across the steel–concrete interface. This paper presents an experimental study on the …

Near surface mounted (NSM) is a technique that has been used to increase the flexural and
the shear resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The performance of the NSM for …

Inhibition measurement of shrinkage of engineering cementitious composites (ECC) was
investigated due to typical ECC with higher free drying shrinkage. The effects of expanded …

With an increased use of fiber reinforced concrete in structural applications, proper
characterization techniques and development of design guides are needed. This …

This paper summarizes flexural modeling and design procedures for strain softening fiber
reinforced concrete. Closed form solutions for calculating neutral axis, moment and …

From this research it became clear that self-healing is possible, but the crack faces should
be close together. In other words, the crack width should not be too large. 2.2 Keeping crack …
