Structural Applications of Hybrid Fiber Engineered Cementitious Composites - A Review

This paper reviews some of the recent progress in the structural applications of hybrid fiber Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) materials. A summary of the design and characteristics of such materials is presented followed by a review of recent applications of hybrid fiber ECC. The reviewed applications include the use of hybrid fiber ECC for designing impact & blast resistant protective panels, strengthening of RC beams, and enhancing corrosion durability of RC beams. The review demonstrates that hybrid fiber ECC can significantly enhance the performance of structures incorporating these materials.
