Uniaxial cyclic compression behaviour and constitutive model of strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) with limestone and calcined clay

Key Points

• Strain-hardening cementitious composites exhibit unique behaviour under uniaxial cyclic compression, which influences structural applications.
• The analysis reveals significant stiffness and energy absorption measurements, with implications for durability in civil engineering.
• Development of a constitutive model details the mechanical performance of composites with limestone and calcined clay components.
• Highlights a need for further exploration of composite materials to enhance construction resilience and sustainability.
