Enhanced Ductility and Toughness of Desert Sand Engineered Cementitious Composites

Economical desert sand engineered cementitious composites (DS-ECCs) using a mixture of cement, fly ash, local desert sand, water, low-cost PVA fibers, and chemical additives were developed, aiming for a further enhancement in ductility and toughness. The mechanical behavior of DS-ECCs for two sand s...
