Abstract: In this paper the flexural behavior of a strain‐hardening engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is studied and compared with that observed in a regular fiber‐reinforced cementitious composite (FRC). Unlike concrete or ...

Abstract: An analytical model has been developed for the flexural strength of fiber‐reinforced cement‐based materials. The proposed model adopts the fictitious crack concept to relate the flexural strength of these fiber composites ...

Abstract: The characteristics of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) subjected to dynamic tensile loading and high-velocity projectile impact have been investigated and are reported in this paper. Hybrid-fiber ECC containing ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study to evaluate the damage and failure mode of hybrid-fiber engineered cementitious composite (ECC) panels caused by large projectiles or fragments. The aim is to quantify ...

Abstract: An analytical model for the design of strain-hardening and multiple-cracking behavior of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) containing hybrid fibers is proposed. The model predicts first crack strength and ultimate ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of the shear behavior of beams made using hybrid fiber–engineered cementitious composites (HFECC). The paper specifically deals with the shear behavior of ...

Abstract: A probabilistic-based micromechanical model has been developed for the postcracking behavior of a brittle matrix reinforced with short, randomly distributed fibers. The model that predicts the composite-bridging stress ...
