With the advent of new materials, there is a constant need for designers to find innovative ways to incorporate these materials into new challenging applications. Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), which belongs to a family of High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC), is a class of ultra ductile short discrete fiber reinforced cementitious composite developed for such potential challenging applications. Strain hardening through multiple cracking in axial tension and tight crack width control are two unique properties put ECC in a category of smart material....
