Abstract:The Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a special type of High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) characterized by a high tensile ductility with a 2% maximum volume of micro fibres. ECC has a tensile strain-hardening performance that leads to multiple cracking behaviour, thus providing the high ductility to the concrete. One of the main applications of ECC is as structural reinforcement in the construction or rehabilitation of rigid and flexible pavements. In order to adapt th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
