Performance evaluation of the fresh and hardened properties of different PVA-ECC mixes: An experimental approach by Sajjad Wali Khan, Mustafa Kamal, Fasih Ahmed Khan, Akhtar Gul, Muhammad Alam, Feroz Shah, Khan Shahzada

“…It has been revealed through experimental results that the workability of all the mixes decreased with the increasing percentages of fibres, however, it remained within the allowable range of ASTM for fibre contents of up to 2%. It was further observed that the ductile behaviour of ECC was greatly compromised with the use of coarse aggregate in the mix, however, strain hardening and multiple-cracking properties were found to remain intact. …”
