This paper investigates the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers on the toughness, compressive and flexural strength of engineered cementitious composite (ECC) cubes and slabs. The key parameter discussed in this study is the reinforcing index. To evaluate the strain-hardening behavior of ECC w...
