One of the most damaging environmental conditions to concrete structure is cyclic freezing
and thawing. This paper discusses the influence of the high volumes of fly ash (FA) and …

The flexural performance of green engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) containing
high volume of palm oil fuel ash (POFA) has been investigated. Three sets of ECC mixtures …

This paper concerns a new concept for introducing superabsorbent polymer (SAP) particles
as pre-existing flaws into matrix to improve tensile property, flexural property, drying …

Crack characteristics of M45-ECC and HFA-ECC specimens pre-loaded to strain levels of
0.3%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% were investigated in this paper. This was done at different ages …

The mixture proportions of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are optimized
through micromechanics-based material design theory to attain high tensile ductility …

This study was carried out to develop engineered cementitious composites (ECCs)
incorporating binary blends of high volumes of fly ash (FA) and metakaolin (MK) for the …

As the most popular construction material, concrete has many advantages compared to
other materials. However, its brittle nature causes cracking and results in many deterioration …

Cementitious materials with strain-hardening property and high tensile ductility are
promising materials on account of their mechanical and durability performances. These …

The effect of the different curing conditions on the response of fiber crack bridging of
PVAECC is studied. The self compacting PVA-ECC was cast into the moulds to produce four …

In recent years, improvements in concrete properties have been achieved by the invention of
High-Performance-Concrete (HPC). Improvements involving a combination of improved …
