Influence of Fiber on Compressive and Tensile Properties of ECC
This paper carried out tests of compressive and tensile properties of engineering cementitious composites(ECC)specimens with three fiber contents to investigate the influencing law of different types of fiber on ECC's mechanical properties.The test results showed that the hydrophilic PVC fiber harmed the compressive strength of ECC,while PE fiber and hydrophobic PVC fiber could improve the compressive strength of ECC for they uniformly dispersed in the matrix.Besides,with the increasing fiber content of ECC,the compressive strength and tensile indicators increased gradually.The study results could guide the optimization of ECC's mechanical properties.
