AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF ENGINEERED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITES USING STEEL FIBRES

Abstract

Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a type of high performance cementitious composites which it has good ductility and durability properties. This paper focuses on the experimental investigation on the mechanical characteristics of ECC using Steel fibers. The addition of Steel Fibers is varied from 0 % to 2% in the interval of 0.2% to the cement matrix. The mortar specimen was casted to evaluate the compressive, split tensile and flexural strength of ECC. All the specimens were tested at the age of 7 and 28 days. By evaluating the experimental test results, it was observed that the ECC has better performance characteristics compared to control specimen and also 1.2% addition of Steel Fibers in ECC shows noticeable strength development compared to all other mixes.
