Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is one of the versatile construction composites. The eco-friendly nature and performance depend on materials curing period. This analysis uses sisal fibres at suitable fly ash to cement dosage (f/c). It responsible for a reduction in disposal (or) environmental problems. impact alkaline-treated with different combinations polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) character...

Carbonated MgO-based Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) has ultrahigh tensile ductility and tight crack width control behavior. However, the expectation of improved fire-resistant not been confirmed. This study explored alterations to mechanical microstructure characteristics this material after exposure temperatures up 500 °C. Material mass loss, compressive strength, strain capacity, mat...

Abstract We analyzed the effect of elevated temperatures on integrity high-strength engineered cementitious composite (ECC) made with a hybrid combination polyethylene (PE) and steel fibers. The 50 mm cube specimens were subjected to temperature ranging from 200 800 °C at three different heating rates: 1, 5, 10 °C/min. Five types mixes varying content supplementary materials fibers evaluated. N...

The current study focuses on the utilization of Marble Waste Powder (MWP) as a partial substitution cement along with local sand instead microsilica in Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC). aim was to reduce environmental concerns ECC by reducing content without adversely affecting desired properties. Four mixes were evaluated; control mix which has no MWP and three test having replacement 1...

Recent earthquakes severely damaged short columns due to high lateral stiffness and low ductility. Some conditions, such as reductions in the heights of some compared others on same floor, deep beams, partially buried basements, non-structural walls, cause column effects. The prominent characteristics engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers – inc...

Encapsulation of healing agents embedded in a material matrix has become one of the major approaches for achieving self-healing function in cementitious materials in recent years. A novel type of microcapsules based self-healing cementitious composite was developed in Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Durability for Marine Civil Engineering, Shenzhen University. In this study, both macro p...
