Numerical simulation for evaluating tensile strain hardening behaviour of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) materials are extremely limited. This paper presents a finite element (FE) model developed to determine the multiple-cracking and ECC under uniaxial tension. A nonlinear FE program, ATENA was used in this study. constitutive law based on individual crack-based derived by traction-s...

Compared with polyvinyl alcohol-engineered cementitious composites (PVA-ECC), engineered containing polyethylene fibers (PE-ECC) has captured the attention of researchers because lower cost. Nevertheless, there is a limited amount research that focuses on their dynamic behavior. Thus, specimens different water binder ratios were tested by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to unveil compressiv...

In this paper, two types of sustainable cementitious composites, geopolymer and magnesium phosphate cement, are introduced. The geopolymer is a type of amorphous alumino-silicate products and magnesium cement is MgO based cementitious material. Geopolymer can be synthesized by polycondensation reaction of geopolymeric precursor, and alkali polysilicates. The MgO cement can be obtained by proper...

In this study, the fatigue behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites incorporating high tenacity polypropylene fiber was investigated. The strain curves, cycle numbers, crack numbers and stiffness values were obtained from experiments carried out with load-controlled method at 80, 90 110% stress level (maximum stress/ultimate static strength). conclusion, 80% level, average 1127 cycles, 1....
