ID No: 136 Abstract: Cracks are inevitable for concrete infrastructures during their service life. The presence of cracks reduces the mechanical properties and bring potential safety hazard to infrastructure. In this study, the influence of self-healing on the ECC’s (Engineered cementitious composite) tensile properties was investigated. ECC is a new kind of HPFRCC, featuring high strain capaci...

High performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites have made major advances in recent years, to the point where they are being adopted in building and bridge constructions. The most significant advantage of HPFRCC over conventional concrete is their high tensile ductility. However, the tensile strain capacity has been observed to vary, most likely as a result of the variability of the mi...
