INVESTIGATION OF ENGINEERED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITES PROPERTIES

Concrete is the most widely used building material due to its versatility, durability and availability of raw materials. With the development of the construction industry requirements to concrete, in particular their strength, are increased. Increasing of the physical and mechanical properties and crack resistance of cementitious composites during the operation of buildings and structures is an actual problem in engineering practice. A special class of fiber reinforced materials – engineered cementitious composites (ECC) has been developed for this purpose.
