Abstract:This experimental study investigates the effect of superelastic shape memory alloy fibers (SMAF) on the pullout performance of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC). Various diameters, forms, and surface treatments of SMAF were examined, including Linear shape (LS-SMAF), indented hook shape (HIS-SMAF), and indented shape (IS-SMAF) with diameters of 0.8 and 1.0 mm. sandpaper polishing technique was used for surface treatment. A constant water-to-cement ratio of 0.60 was used to fabricate ECC. Single-fiber pul… Show more
