The role of flaw size and fiber distribution on tensile ductility of PVA-ECC (2014, background): “Recent studies showed that the fiber and flaw size distributions in ECC are dependent on the matrix flowability and mix processing [5,6].”
Influence of matrix flowability, fiber mixing procedure, and curing conditions on the mechanical performance of HTPP-ECC (2014, background): “Unlike plain concrete and normal fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), ECC shows a tensile strain hardening behavior after first cracking and develops a high tensile ductility in the range of 3–7% [1], while conventional concrete fractures only at about 0.”
On the use of recycled tire rubber to develop low E-modulus ECC for durable concrete repairs (2013, background): “Both these factors are essential for achieving tensile ductility in ECC [9,10].”
