Enhancing Engineered Cementitious Composite by External and Internal Hydrophobization

Abstract:

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are characterized with increased ductility and strain hardening due to its internal structure design. ECC is especially useful for applications where common steel reinforced concrete is not applicable and the structural members undergo large strains or dynamic action. Such conditions are often combined with environmental effects where structures are partly or fully immersed in water possibly containing some harmful substances such as chloride or sulfuric ions. To maintain sufficient durability of the composite it is necessary to decrease its water absorbability. One of the very efficient ways to do this is to use external or internal hydrophobization of the composite as shown in this paper.
