A Novel Strategy for Developing Engineered Cementitious Composites: Synergistic Incorporation of Volcanic Materials and PE-PVA Fibers
Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are primarily designed to enhance ductility, achieving strain-hardening behavior and controlled micro-cracking. Key constituents typically include cement, fine aggregates, fly ash, and polymeric fibers. This study aims to replace conventional materials, such as river sand (RS) a...
