What is it about?
Cementitious materials, which are intrinsically brittle materials, can exhibit a degree of ductility when reinforced with a sufficient volume fraction of a fibrous phase. The development of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) – materials reinforced with specially selected short fibers, that have characteristics of concrete with increased bend capability, high ductility and would be valuable for structural applications

Why is it important?
Engineered cementitious composites represent a new concrete material that offers significant potential to reduce the durability and sustainability problem of concrete construction.
Perspectives
The improving of Rapid hardening engineered cementitious composite performance is reached by hybrid reinforcement of their structures at the micro level – by energy-active ultrafine mineral additives, as well macro level – by dispersed fibers.
