(ECC) over the last decade since its invention in the early 1990's. The importance of …

▪ Abstract No other industry in the United States uses more materials by weight than the
construction industry. Because of its economic strength and societal importance, it is also a …

Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has advantage in tensile ductility over the normal concrete.
Among the family of FRC, engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are known for their …

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 …

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) which shows prominent tensile ductility and

A high-performance polyvinyl alcohol fiber-reinforced engineered cementitious composite
(PVA-ECC) for structural applications has been developed under the performance-driven …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber tends to rupture instead of pullout in a cementitious matrix due
to the strong chemical bonding to cement hydrates and the slip-hardening response during …

In the past decade significant advances have been made in the field of high performance
concretes (HPC). The next generation of concrete, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) …

The presence of deleterious substances and their transport are among the most important
factors controlling the durability of cementitious composites. The present paper studies the …
