The Effect of Elevated Temperature on Engineered Cementitious Composite Microstructural Behavior: An Overview

Abstract

This paper discusses the quantitative bibliographic data derived from scientific publications on Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) subjected to elevated temperature, the influence of elevated temperature on the mechanical properties, particularly the compressive strength and microstructure behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) mixtures based on the review of previous pieces of literature. Systematic literature reviews were employed as the methodology in this study. The age of related publications selected to be reviewed was limited to publications for the past ten years, 2010 to December 2020. It was found from available research that exposure of the ECC specimen at the elevated temperature starting from 200oC significantly reduced the compressive strength when the temperature increases, melting of fiber and increase of porosity causes the dramatically increase micro-cracks.

Residual Compressive Behavior of Self-Compacting Concrete after High Temperature Exposure—Influence of Binder Materials

“…Extensive research has been carried out to study the effects of the different mineral additives on the mechanical properties of normal and high strength mortar and concrete at and after high temperature exposure [ 3 , 13 ]. In recent years, some studies have been conducted on the effect of different mineral additives, both pozzolanic [ 14 , 15 , 16 ] and non-pozzolanic [ 17 , 18 ], on the residual properties of SCC.…”
