Incorporating SAP particles in ECC matrix can apparently improve tensile strain capacity and toughness of ECC specimens.
Multicentre analysis with different cohorts would confirm the impact of risk-signature in ECC.
Our data showed that tumour infiltrating inflammatory and immune cells may play a pivotal role in ECC progression and a high-risk signature predicted poor prognosis in ECC patients.
We found that a high-risk signature defined by infiltration of inflammatory and immune cells was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in ECC patients with surgical resection.
Our finding that the numbers of TANs, TAMs, and Tregs in ECC patients were positively correlated is in line with previous results.
Sources of fatigue dependency in ECC microscopic constituent properties were discovered experimentally.
Multiple micro- cracking in ECC delays fracture localization typically observed in normal concrete.
In conclusion, CPREzy™ was associated with significant improvements in ECC performance.
Finally, parametric studies were conducted to quantify the required embedment length of steel reinforcement in ECC.
Strain variation in ECC and mortar plates cast in situ over bamboo stumps was also measured.
The risk of ASR in ECC is determined to be low.
