ECC micromechanics relates material microstructures to the composite tensile behavior,
which enables backward component tailoring to achieve targeted tensile performance at the …

A novel idea of using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) to strengthen the interface transition zone
(ITZ) and to enhance the interface frictional bond strength between polyethylene (PE) fibers …

A novel model based on the three-parameter Weibull function is proposed to describe the
three-stage fatigue deformation behavior of plain and fiber-reinforced concrete. The fatigue …

Ultra-high toughness cementitious composites (UHTCCs) belong to a family of fiber-
reinforced cementitious composites with strain-hardening behavior under tension. Such …

Due to the strain-hardening and multi-cracking properties, engineered cementitious
composite (ECC) is a new solution to the cracking issue in the negative bending moment …

Reactive magnesia-based cement (RMC) is an emerging group of alternative binder to
Portland cement. Recently, the first fiber-reinforced RMC-based strain-hardening …

This study focuses on the development of a new strain-hardening composite (SHC)
involving carbonated reactive MgO cement (RMC) and fly ash (FA) as the main binder …

Abstract Magnesium-silicate-hydrate (MSH) cement has emerged as an alternative binder
with potentially lower energy requirements and emissions. Due to the intrinsically low pH …

This paper presents a study on cracking characterization of engineered cementitious
composites (ECC) under flexural cyclic load using digital image correlation (DIC) technique …

Seismic activities can cause considerable damage to the integrity of the reinforced concrete
and precast concrete structures, particularly in the beam-to-column joints. This article …
