“…Effective concretes for protective structures in connection with the increasing number of natural and manmade disasters, as well as heightened international tensions, are now of particular importance (Murali and Ramprasad 2018;Fediuk et al 2018a;Yoo et al 2016;Aly et al 2019;Matias et al 2013). These concretes require a special set of characteristics, i.e., compressive strength and tensile strength (Evelson and Lukuttsova 2015;Topçu and Uygunolu 2010;Yu et al 2018), impact strength (Neville and Brooks 2010;Mahakavi et al 2019), dynamic strength (Kim 2019;Bir Singh et al 2019), crack resistance (Fediuk et al 2018b;Elgalhud et al 2017), impermeability (Fediuk et al 2019;Lye et al 2015) and workability (Chithra et al 2016;Pan et al 2018). Designing materials that can provide a set of these characteristics at a given level is possible only with the use of the latest advances in building materials science and the management of structure formation processes through the use of multicomponent systems (Artamonova et al 2017;Fediuk et al 2017;Asaad et al 2018;Mosaberpanah and Eren 2016;Lesovik et al 2018).…”

Composite binders were prepared as novel compositions, on the basis of which fiber reinforced self-compacting concretes (FRSCC) with high rheological, mechanical, dynamical, and impermeability behaviors are created. Rice husk ash, quartz sand, and limestone crushing waste within CEM I and different ratio of superplasticizer were investigated as components of composite binders. Central Composite Face Centered method was used to design the number of experiments and randomizations and then screened by Response Surface Methodology. The validity of models was projected by ANOVA. Replacement of cement by waste composite binders as a supplementary cementitious material has a positive effect on mechanical properties of FRSCC from 30% to around 35% of cement replacement. Adding the superplasticizer improved the performance of FRSCC in all aspects in the given range. Increasing the waste composite binders decreased the vapor permeability and effective diffusion coefficient of FRSCC by improving the hydration rate and decreasing the pores of the concrete matrix. Designed FRSCC has the potential to be used as a material for protective structures, because it is able to provide comprehensive protection against the dynamic effects and penetration of gases.

Seismic performance is of paramount importance for structures in regions with high seismic risk. Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) exhibits tensile strain hardening behavior and excellent crack dispersion capacity, as well as good workability. The application of ECC material may be a feasible way to improve the seismic behavior of engineering structures. This paper presents a comprehensive review of experimental and simulation studies concerning seismic behavior of reinforced ECC members and reinforced concrete/ECC composite members. The review is mainly focused on design programs for structural members and their seismic response behavior. The effectiveness of the application of ECC for seismic improvement is discussed. Several design recommendations are provided, based on comparison of the related studies.

“…As a result, engineered cementitious composites (ECC, also referred as strain hardening cementitious composites) merged for its saturated cracking behavior and high ductility when subjected to increasing tensile loading. Generally, ECC has a tensile strain capacity (strain at the peak tensile stress) ranging from 2 to 5% and a tensile strength ranging from 3 to 7 MPa . However, despite the superior tensile strain capacity, ECC is still not a structural material free from steel reinforcement.…”

Using seawater as mixing water to produce concrete may lead to excessive chloride content inside cementitious paste. This dramatically increases the risk of steel corrosion in the service life of RC structures. To address this issue, the authors tried to develop cementitious composites with sufficient ductility and strength, making it a structural material free from steel reinforcement, so that seawater can be used freely in mixture. In this article, ultra‐high ductile cementitious composites (UHDCC) were fabricated using 100% natural seawater, sea‐fresh water (50 + 50%) and 100% freshwater, in which the water‐soluble chloride contents reached 0.288, 0.181, and 0.073%, respectively. Mechanical test results indicated that the presence of chloride ions has negligible influence on the strength of single polyethylene fiber and fracture toughness of UHDCC matrix. Also, no significant difference was found existing in tensile strength, tensile strain capacity, and composite bridging capacity of the UHDCCs mixed with seawater or freshwater. Four‐point bending test demonstrated that plain UHDCC beams mixed with seawater, sea‐fresh water or freshwater have the similar load bearing capacity to a reference RC beam having steel reinforcement of 0.57%. Generally, the present experimental study demonstrates that chloride content has negligible influence on the mechanical properties of UHDCC, thus providing a solution for concrete constructions located in coastal areas and isolated islands.
