Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC): A Review of the Most Common Laboratory Testing Methods
Abstract
Recent advancements in material research and technological innovations in the processing of raw materials for concrete production, combined with global shifts and the pursuit of sustainability, have prompted increased interest in the development of novel concrete mixtures. Despite several decades of intensive research in concrete technology, the practical implementation of these advancements remains relatively limited. This paper reviews existing testing methods and synthesizes the most relevant findings, while emphasizing the specific contributions and limitations of each study.
