Abstract: This paper comprehensively studies the influence of hydrated lime usage on the repeatability and pervasiveness of the self-healing mechanism in engineered cementitious composites (ECC) incorporating high-volume fly ash ...

Abstract: This paper reports on an investigation of the use of expanded perlite aggregate as saturated lightweight aggregate (LWA) with respect to the mechanical and dimensional stability properties of engineered cemetitious composites ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the influence of high volumes of fly ash and micro polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers on the fire resistance and microstructure of engineered cementitious composites (ECC). Composites containing two different ...

Abstract: Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are relatively new construction materials characterized by strain-hardening behavior under excessive tensile loading. Unlike conventional concrete materials, which generally show ...

Abstract: Rigid concrete overlays have been used for smoothing damaged surfaces and/or restoring or improving the mechanical capacity of bridge decks for many years. However, engineered cementitious composites (ECCs), which demonstrate ...

Abstract: Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are relatively new construction materials characterized by strain-hardening behavior under excessive tensile loading. Unlike conventional concrete materials, which generally show ...

Abstract: The main purpose of this research is to assess the influence of different design parameters on the mechanical performance of high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (HPFRC) mixtures. Special attention is also paid to ...
