Abstract

To investigate the ECC’s resistance to tensile cracking, an examination centered on uniaxial tensile properties of ECC reinforced with PVA fibers was undertaken. This analysis encompassed an assessment of damage evolution, the profiling of tensile stress-strain responses, and the extraction of salient mechanical parameters from test samples. The findings revealed that, given constant mixture proportions, a rise in fiber content correspondingly augmented the cracking strength. Furthermore, a substantial improvement in the peak tensile strain of ECC was observed with escalating fiber dosages. Notably, in comparable fiber dosage scenarios, ECC formulations utilizing ordinary cement demonstrated a superior maximum tensile strain performance compared to those based on composite cements.
