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 …

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 …
