Material Properties of a New Hybrid-Fiber Engineered Cementitious Composite

Abstract:

A new hybrid-fiber Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) containing 1.25% steel (SE) fibers and 0.75% Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fibers is proposed, and material properties of the new ECC mix are tested in this paper. The compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture and tensile properties under various strain rates of the new hybrid-ECC mix are investigated experimentally. The tested results are compared with those for a normal concrete mix, as well as those for other mono-fiber and hybrid-fiber ECCs reported in other literatures.
