Advances in Engineered Cementitious Composite: Materials, Structures and Numerical Modelling

Focuses on recent research developments in high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites, covering three key aspects, i.e., materials, structures and numerical modeling. Sections discuss the development of materials to achieve high-performance by using different types of fibers, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and hybrid fibers.

Other chapters look at experimental studies on the application of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites on structures and the performance of structural components, including beams, slabs, and columns, and recent development of numerical methods and modeling techniques for modeling material properties and structural behavior.

This book will be an essential reference resource for materials scientists, civil and structural engineers, and all those working in the field of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites and structures.
