Escalating The Durability Of Concrete Structures Using Engineered Cementitious Composites
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 11
Abstract
Concrete can be damaged by various stimuli, responsible for its deterioration. Intrinsic factors like construction deficiency and design deficiency may have adverse effects on concrete strength and durability. On the other hand extrinsic factors like Chloride attack and Sulfate attack and their effect on concrete structures can be minimized by the use of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). The concrete distress can be minimized by using Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Fiber Reinforced Concrete. This paper imparts the knowledge about the various causes and stages of concrete distress, depicts the tensile behaviour of ECC with tight crack widths and durability properties of ECC such as Rapid Chloride Penetration Test and Permeability Test for 2% PVA fiber by Volume of Concrete.
