... resistance. Taking advantage of these two materials, ECCs reinforced with HSSSWR (HSSSWR-ECCs) promise to be attractive when used in flexible and ductile link slabs in bridge deck systems, in permanent formworks of concrete members and for strengthening existing members. In this work, bending tests were...
