Conventional Portland cement-based composites are inherently weak under tensile
stresses, due to its high brittleness quotient, and the problem gets further aggravated in …

Durability is important for construction materials especially when they are used for long-term
engineering applications. Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) as a relatively new …

Generally high strength engineered cementitious composites (ECC) requires high cement
content, which is negative to its sustainability as the cement production contributes as much …

This study develops a framework for property prediction and multi-objective optimization of
strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) based on automated machine learning …

Synthetic materials used in a wide range of applications are prone to damage in the form of
cracking/microcracking. Catastrophic failure of the materials may occur due to the growth …

The focus on the use of eco-friendly materials in cementitious composites has resulted in
increasing interest and use of materials such as chopped basalt fibres which are a …

Current development of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites
(HPFRCC) mainly relies on intensive experiments. The main purpose of this study is to …

Fracture characteristics were used to effectively evaluate the performance of fiber-reinforced
cementitious composites. The fracture parameters provided the basis for crack stability …

UHPFRC is a material that offers several openings within the building industry. One of those
applications is the seismic retrofitting of existing non-ductile concrete structures. This paper …

Fiber plays a key role in the mechanical properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites
(ECC), a new generation of fiber-reinforced concrete with excellent ductility and exceptional …
