Abstract

![CDATA[In this paper, a new Polyvinyl Alcohol fiber reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composite (PVA-ECC) is developed using local ingredients in Australia. The fundamental mechanical behavior of the new PVA-ECC is tested under compression and uniaxial tension, and the stress-strain relationships under compression and tension are obtained. The material properties of this new PVA-ECC including compressive strength and Young’s modulus tested at the different ages are presented, which shows the development of the material properties over time. The new PVA-ECC is found to exhibit a compressive strength as high as 60 MPa, a tensile strength of 5.4 MPa and an ultimate tensile strain of 1%, the new ECC is found to exhibit comparable material properties to other PVA-ECCs reported in the literature.]]
