Cracks and cavities belong to two basic forms of damage to the concrete structure, which
may reduce the load-bearing capacity and tightness of the structure and lead to failures and …

Repair and strengthening of concrete structures have become more important with the aging
of existing infrastructure and the rising reconstruction costs. One of the popular and …

Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are characterized by multiple cracking
behaviors, high tensile-strain capacity, and excellent crack-control ability. Representative …

In the present study, effect of pozzolanic reaction of zeolite on its internal curing performance
in cement-based materials was experimentally investigated. Firstly, the pozzolanic activity of …

External wrapping with engineered cementitious composite (ECC) extends the service life of
concrete structures after reinforcement corrosion, but the low economics of this …

To improve the dynamic mechanical behaviour and make full use of recycled waste tyres,
this study investigates the feasibleness of partial replacement of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) …

The effect of initial damage levels on self-healing properties and the mechanism of fly ash-
based engineered geopolymer composites (FA-EGC) was investigated. FA-EGC paste with …

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) enjoys huge potential in building structures
thanks to its excellent tensile performance and energy absorption ability. However, free …

After high-temperature exposure, synthetic fibers with low melt temperature tend to exert
negative influence on mechanical performance of engineered cementitious composite …

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber shows great
potential in buildings and infrastructure constructions due to its characteristics of strain …
