This paper addresses the property requirements of repair materials for high durability performance for concrete structure repair. It is proposed that the high tensile strain capacity of High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC) makes such materials particularly suitable for repair applications, provided that the fresh properties are also adaptable to those required in p...

This paper reviews recent research on the application of an engineered cementitious composite (ECC) as overlay in the repair of deteriorated concrete structures. ECC is an ultra-ductile fiber reinforced cement based composite, that has metal-like features when loaded in tension. The uniaxial tensile stress-strain curve shows a ‘yield’ point, followed by strain-hardening up to several percent st...

As a novel civil engineering material, Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) has attracted more and attention due to its strain-hardening characteristics, good post-cracking resistance unique properties. Bonding between rebar great effect on the mechanical behavior of structural members. In this paper, direct pull-out tests were conducted understand bond ECC rebar. The test parameters include...

This article surveys the research and development of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) over the last decade since its invention in the early 1990’s. The importance of micromechanics in the material design strategy is emphasized. Observations of unique characteristics of ECC based on a broad range of theoretical and experimental research are described. The advantageous use of ECC in certa...

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are strongly advised as an alternative to cement reduce its adverse environmental effects. One such SCMs is palm oil fuel ash (POFA), a waste material generated in large quantities Southeast Asian countries, and there insufficient data on use engineered composite (ECC). This study aims optimize the properties of ECC using POFA replacement, by 13 mixes...
