Abstract Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is one of the recently emerging
technologies in the construction industry. The strain hardening behavior, ductility, and …

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

Abstract Seawater sea-sand Engineered Cementitious Composites (SS-ECC) is a new
version of ECC for marine constructions facing the scarcity of freshwater and …

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

It is well-understood that the incorporation of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) in a
concrete mix can lead to some impacts on the mechanical properties of the concrete due to …

Biological materials are typically multifunctional but many have evolved to optimize a chief
mechanical function. These functions include impact or fracture resistance, armor and …

One of the fundamental aspects in cohesive zone modeling is the definition of the traction-
separation relationship across fracture surfaces, which approximates the nonlinear fracture …

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) which shows prominent tensile ductility and
toughness, and fine multiple cracking, meets the high requirements of safety and durability …

Abstract Strain-Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) is a type of advanced
construction material that can enhance the resiliency and durability of structures. However …
