Abstract

The framework of a practical test method that can be used to provide indirect assessment of the tensile properties of ECC is presented. Particular emphasis is placed on providing the underlying concept, modelling strategy and constitutive relations underpinning the proposed framework. An analysis case study, examining the effect of tensile stress-strain profiles on the flexural response of an ECC beam, is presented to demonstrate the capability of the modelling approach. The results of further parametric analysis are also provided to establish equations that can be used for determining equivalent tensile properties of ECC based on a given set of flexural test data. A web portal is provided as a simple tool for practitioners and researchers involved in mix development and quality control testing.
