Influence of an extrusion approach on the fiber orientation and mechanical properties of engineering cementitious composite

In this study, an extrusion approach was proposed to improve the fiber orientation degree in engineering cementitious composite (ECC) during the casting process. The influence of the casting approach on the fiber orientation and mechanical behavior was investigated. Specimens were prepared by two different casting approaches: the extrusion and the commonly adopted one. The fiber orientation was detected using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...
