Engineered cementitious composite

A big question in the numerical approaches for the mechanical behavior of the textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) composite under tensile loading is how to model the cracking of the cementitious matrix. This paper presents numerical results of 3-D modeling of TRC composite in which the non-linear behavior model was used by considering the cracking for the cementitious matrix.

In comparison with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite, the textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) presents stability in mechanical performance at elevated temperatures thanks to a thermal protection layer by the cementitious matrix. This paper presents the experimental characterization and analytical modeling for fire performance of carbon TRC under the thermomechanical regime at constant tensile force.

This study aims to investigate the long-term mechanical properties and durability of cementitious composites (CC) with low polypropylene (PP) fiber content and local river sand. The CC samples were prepared with different water-to-binder (w/b) ratios (0.20, 0.25, and 0.3), low PP fiber content (0.6% by mass of binder), locally available river sand, and fly ash (FA) sourced in the Mekong Delta region, corresponding to the mixture name WB20, WB25, and WB30, respectively.

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) creates many potential civil engineering applications due to its outstanding ultimate tensile strain capacity (normally exceeding 2%) compared to conventional concrete and fiber reinforced concrete. The high tensile ductility of ECC is mainly influenced by fiber characteristics.
