- As part of long term programme by international academics from Turkey, Canada and UK investigating resilient construction materials, this paper focused on the structural behaviour of engineered cementitious composites (ECC). Unlike previous studies on small scale specimens of ECC, it tests realistically large-scale reinforced ECC beams to evaluate the effect of intrinsic self-healing ability of ECC on the properties of structural elements. The successful development of self-healing cementitious materials would reduce the maintenance and repair costs of infrastructure; that is estimated to be $20 billion/annum in Europe.
