Mechanical Behaviour of Engineered Cementitious Composites under Quasi-Static and High Strain Rate Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a series of experimental studies on the behaviour of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) under quasi-static and high strain rate loads. Potential enhancement of ECC to the resistance and ductility of structural members was evaluated under column removal scenarios and impact loading conditions. Besides, dynamic increase factors for compressive strength and critical strain were derived according to experimental results under high strain rates. Finally, conclusions and recommendations were made in accordance with the use of these materials for different structural performances.
