Abstract

This paper presents the impact of fiber hybridization on performance of engineered cementitious composites (ECC). Mortar-based ECC demonstrates strain-hardening behavior with closely spaced several micro-cracks by using only 2% of fiber content. The novel characteristics of ECC can enhance the durability as well as service life of the cement-based structures. In current research work, metallic (steel) and non-metallic (polyester) fibers were used in combination to reinforce the ECC. The compression, four-point bending and electrical resistivity tests were carried out to characterize the behavior of various ECC mixtures. Test results indicated that the hybrid use of metallic and non-metallic fibers enhanced the performance of the cementitious composite. On the other hand, the utilization of industrial by-product (slag) and hybrid fibers saves the natural resources, land cost and contributes to make the eco-friendly environmental system.
