Enhanced matrix packing density and tailored fiber-to-matrix interface bond properties have
led to the recent development of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHP …

In this paper, the mechanical properties and self-healing behavior of Engineered
Cementitious Composite (ECC) are investigated. Three ECC mix proportions with different …

Abstract Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) are structural materials known for
their excellent tensile ductility and damage tolerance. Previous experimental studies have …

In this study, the influences of matrix flowability, fiber mixing procedure, and curing
conditions on the mechanical properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) …

Five one-third scale segmental bridge columns with plastic hinges incorporating different
advanced materials were designed and tested on one of the shake tables at the University of …

The demand for repair and retrofit of aging concrete infrastructures increase over time.
Normal concrete repair materials are brittle and tend to crack, resulting in a lack of durability …

In the context of multiscale-oriented computational analyses of fiber-RC (FRC) structures,
the modeling of single fiber pullout behavior represents the basic constituent to provide …

This investigation assessed the performance of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres of 6 mm and
12 mm length in concrete. Based on total concrete volume, four fibre fractions (0· 125, 0· 25 …

Fracture mechanics based flexural model for layered engineered cementitious composite
(ECC)-concrete beam is proposed. With the model, the flexural behavior of the layered …

Current bridge seismic design could be improved by moving towards performance based
design to keep bridges operational and keep repair costs to a minimum by reducing damage …
