Sustainability necessitates the protection of infrastructure from any kind deterioration over life cycle asset. Deterioration in capacity reinforced concrete (RC) (e.g., bridges, buildings, etc.) may result localised damage sustained during extreme loading scenarios, such as earthquakes, hurricanes or tsunamis. In addition, factors corrosion rebars ageing also deteriorate degrade an RC column, thereby necessitating immediate strengthening to either extend ensure its design is not limited....
Although high-strength concrete (HSC) has higher compressive strength than normal-strength (NSC), its application in column construction is often limited by brittleness and post-peak ductility. In this preliminary study, hybrid fibre engineered cementitious composite (ECC) proposed as a potential encasement material to confine the HSC core increase column's The behaviours of ECC-encased stub under axial compression are studied experimentally. Thirty columns, including six NSC/HSC, ECC 18...
With the advancement of material technology, use high-strength and high-performance materials in construction industry is gaining popularity. Steel–polyvinyl alcohol (steel–PVA) hybrid fibre engineered cementitious composites (ECC) one such class whose mechanical properties are not well studied literature especially matrix. Therefore, this paper, four different grades steel–PVA ECC experimentally investigated. with nominal compressive strengths from 60 to 100 MPa developed. Their including...
Abstract Analytical models which can reliably predict the load–deformation behaviors and ultimate strength of columns are indispensable tools for practical design. In this paper, an analytical model is developed to compressive behavior capacity engineered cementitious composite confined concrete encased steel (ECC‐CES) columns. The proposed employs effective material stress strain compatibility approaches predictions response ECC‐CES constitutive ECC, concrete, first established, then used...
