A significant breakthrough in concrete technology was achieved using fibers to reinforce
concrete. Various researchers have reported that fiber reinforcement can alter the brittleness …

Autogenous healing of cracks may offer a solution for brittle cementitious materials. In this
study, the healing building blocks are available through the well-designed ultra-ductile …

An experimental study was carried out to understand the electrical percolation thresholds of
different carbon-based nano-and micro-scale materials in cementitious composites. Multi …

Autogenous healing is an already-present feature in strain-hardening cementitious
materials, but it is an inferior mechanism because it can only heal small cracks in the …

In this study the flexural and compressive properties of hybrid engineered cementitious
composite (ECC) was investigated. The hybridization with low-and high-modulus fibers was …

This paper investigates and presents a study on the comparative effects of added water and
naphthalene-based superplasticizer (SP) on the compressive strength and microstructure of …

Quality of interfacial bond between fibers and matrix determines the post-cracking behavior
of fiber-reinforced composites. Fatigue-induced interface deterioration between fibers and …

In the present study, the hybridization effect of polypropylene (PP) with polyvinyl alcohol
(PVA) fibers in engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) was investigated. For this …

In this paper a hierarchical multiscale modelling method is proposed to analyse the strain-
hardening and multiple-cracking tensile fracture behaviour of engineered cementitious …

Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are relatively new construction materials
characterized by strain-hardening behavior under excessive tensile loading. Unlike …
