Tailoring engineered cementitious composites for impact resistance
(Elsevier, 2012)
This paper presents results of deliberate tailoring of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) for impact resistance. Microstructure control involving fiber, matrix and fiber/matrix interface was based on steady-state ...
Development of High Strength High Ductility Concrete
(RILEM, 2011)
The development of a new material, High Strength High Ductility Concrete (HSHDC), and its unique composite properties are reported in this paper. HSHDC attains an average compressive strength of 160 MPa (23 ksi) and average ...
Strain hardening fiber reinforced alkali-activated mortar – A feasibility study
(Elsevier, 2012)
The development of cementless slag-based alkali-activated mortar has previously been demonstrated. While greener than Portland cement based compositions, slag-based alkali-activated mortar tends to be highly brittle. In ...
Cracking and Healing of Engineered Cemetitious Composites under Chloride Environment
(American Concrete Institute, 2011)
Engineered cementitious composite's (ECC) tensile ductility and microcracking behavior are essential for achieving structural durability (for example, corrosion resistance). This paper investigated ECC's durability in terms ...
Assessing Mechnical Properties and Microstructure of Fire-Damaged Engineered Cementitious Composites
(American Concrete Institute, 2010)
In the last few years, a number of investigations of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) have been carried out, and the mechanical behavior and durability characteristics of this type of composite are now increasingly ...
Unused Pharmaceutical Disposal Model
(2012)
Supporting Information for research article "Life cycle comparison of environmental emissions from three disposal options for unused pharmaceutical". This spreadsheet provides the calculations and values used for this ...
Development of pigmentable engineered cementitious composites for architectural elements through integrated structures and materials design
(RILEM, 2012)
Integrated structures and materials design (ISMD) represents a new design approach that combines materials and structural engineering for the purpose of more effectively achieving targeted performance. Performance based ...
Headed Anchor/Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) Pullout Behavior
(Japan Concrete Institute, 2011)
In this paper, the inelastic damage process in Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) in the high stress concentration zone adjacent to the head of an embedded anchor under tensile load was examined experimentally and ...
High-Ductility Concrete for Resilient Infrastructures
(National Institute of Building Sciences Advanced Materials Council, 2011)
Earthquakes, fires and blasts are known for their enormous capability to destroy everything in their path. Could a new type of concrete hold the answer to lessening the damage?
Engineered Cementitious Composites: Can Composites Be Accepted as Crack-Free Concrete?
(Transportation Board of the National Academies, 2010)
Because conventional concrete is brittle and tends to crack easily under mechanical and environmental loads, there are concerns with durability. During the past decade, the effort to modify the brittle nature of ordinary ...
