Abstract

Engineered Cementitious Composites or ECC is a cement composite with reinforced fiber, having high ductility and strong cracking width control. Ordinary concrete is almost incapable of bending and has a strength of only 0.1% which makes them brittle and hard. This lack of bending is a major cause of failure under stress and has been a contributing factor in the development of special materials. This feature is able to display highly improved flexibility. The fibers used ECC are micromechanically designed. To maximize performance, a High Range Water Reduction (HRWR) agent must be added to ECC. In contrast, no coarse aggregates are used in ECCs, which has a relatively high powder content. Cement materials, such as fly ash, silica fume can be used in addition to cement to increase adhesion content. The purpose of cement composites is designed to develop a durable and flexible material.
