DOIAbstract
This paper suggests the need for developing a new class of FRCs which has the strain-hardening property but which can be processed with conventional equipment. It is demonstrated that such a material, termed engineered cementitious composites or ECCs, can be designed based on micromechanical with strain capacity of about 3 to 5% compared to 0.01% of normal concrete. The result is a moderately low fiber volume fraction (<2%) composite which shows extensive strain-hardening. Ductile property of normal concrete can be improved by using PVA fibers in place of coarse aggregate and cement partially replaced by fly ash. For these purpose concrete cubes, cylinders, beams and slabs are experimentally investigated. This paper also focuses on signific...
