To review a decade of theoretical and experimental research on Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) and evaluate their structural, repair, and retrofit applications.
Synthesized theoretical micromechanics models and experimental performance data on Engineered Cementitious Composites developed from the early 1990s through 2002.
Evaluated materials design strategies alongside empirical structural, repair, and retrofit deployment cases presented at the International Workshop on Ductile Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites.
Micromechanics-driven material design principles successfully produce cementitious composites with distinct ductile deformation and superior crack-control behavior.
Engineered Cementitious Composites offer substantial performance advantages over traditional materials in specialized structural repair, retrofitting, and energy-absorbing infrastructure applications.
