Abstract: Results are presented for a series of laboratory tests that were undertaken to characterize the tensile properties of an engineered cementitious composite (ECC) mix, which is a mortar-based composite reinforced with synthetic ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to investigate the viability of using engineered cementitious composite (ECC) shotcrete as in-plane shear reinforcement for concrete masonry wallettes. Twenty-six mortared or dry-stacked ...

Abstract: Breakwaters are effective structures for mitigating tsunami-induced damage. However, pieces of the breakwater can be displaced by the turbulent tsunami flow, which undermines the stability of the breakwater and reduces its ...
