Engineered cementitious composites (ECCS): Evaluation of direct field of application in Romanian infrastructure
Journal Title: Construcţii - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
The today Romanian infrastructure, road and civil, evaluated both in terms of existing or identified need of structures (buildings of different importance class and with different functionalities, roads, highways, viaducts and bridges, etc.), represents an essential part, with major and synergetic role in the society life and evolution. As consequence, its preservation and future development are major topics of interest in order to ensure the progress of Romanian space as part of European Union and European Community. Identifying the optimum solutions and the best materials for this major goal should become priorities for all parties involved in the process: research and industry, academia, economic and political entities. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) are therefore mentioned as a new type of cement-based composites, with unique features and superior performances, which can be developed, tailored and adjusted according to specific needs, destination and structural design. This paper presents a general introduction of them, their potential towards a sustainable infrastructure and also a review of ECC development in Incerc Cluj, with local raw material and with respect to some proposed fields of application.
