Modelling of ECC and SMA-Reinforced Concrete Members
… materials such as Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) and Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). This work looks to model the response of ECC at both small-and large-scale sizes based on experimental data of ECC flexural prisms and shear walls reinforced with ECC. Modelling was conducted using VecTor2, …
