2% volume fraction of PVA fibres were added to engineer the cementitious composite mixture.
The key process is bonding the engineered fibre composite without modifying the material properties.
Fly ash-based geopolymer was used as complete replacement of cement binder to significantly increase the environmental sustainability of the composite compared to the engineered cementitious composite (ECC).
The coefficient of water permeability of LSHCC was comparable with reference normal concrete and the engineered cementitious composite (ECC-M45) in the literature.
To understand the bond behaviour between the basalt fibre reinforced plastic (BFRP) bar and the engineered cementitious composite (ECC), pullout tests were performed in this paper to study the effects of the bar diameter, the embedded length, the cover thickness, and the properties of matrix materials on the bond performance.
The engineered cementitious composite (ECC) represents one type of high performance fiber-reinforced cement composites (HPFRCC), which are designed with the intent of obtaining a high toughness composite material with pseudo strain-hardening and multiple cracking properties.
The chapter begins by giving the reasons behind the development of the structurally engineered timber composite section I-beam for use in buildings.
This paper investigates the effects of engineered cementitious composite (ECC) on the behavior of RC exterior beam column joint under reversed cyclic loading.
High-energy ball mill is employed to convert micrometer-sized silicon and graphite to nanostructured silicon/graphite composite building blocks, while a thin carbon coating is applied to encapsulate these composite agglomerates, followed by partial etching of silicon to create engineered voids inside the composite agglomerates.
The design approach of the fiber reinforced cementitious composite is based on fracture mechanics principles, which will be described in the first part of the paper along with an introduction of the relevant material properties of the resulting engineered cementitious composite (ECC).
In the current study, engineered cementitious composite (ECC) was used as the adhesive, and a CFRP-ECC hybrid was externally bonded to the concrete structures for strengthening purpose.
