Engineering properties of sustainable engineered cementitious composites with recycled tyre polymer fibres

Microstructural evolution and dynamic compressive properties of engineered cementitious composites at elevated temperatures

“…The microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of ECC exposed to elevated temperatures were investigated in this study. To further improve the sustainability and hightemperature/fire resistance of ECC for wider engineering applications, the high-cost PVA fibres can be replaced by recycled fibres (e.g., recycled tyre polymer fibres) [87], and inorganic fibres with a higher melting point (e.g., steel fibres) can be incorporated [88], which is the subject of ongoing research and will be presented in future publications.…”
