Abstract

This paper investigates about the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres, polypropylene fibers, steel and glass fibers on the workability, compressive and tensile strength of engineered cementitious composite (ECC). The key parameter discussed in this study is the reinforcing index. Strength increases in the member when mixed with PVA, PP, Glass and Steel fibers.higher the ECC, higher the strain capacity of any member. Cubes and dog legged specimens are casted for various mix proportion, tests are carried out. Results showed that hybrid ECC mix attained the reasonable improvement in the mechanical properties.
