Abstract
Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are a special class of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious materials with high tensile ductility, energy absorption and damage tolerance. Various studies have demonstrated the advantages of ECC for seismic applications. However, real-life applications of ECC are still rare today due to a lack of design guidelines and high cost of the material. In this study, seismic design parameters were derived using FEMA P695 methodology for two different special moment frames: (1) frames entirely composed of reinforced ECC (R/ECC) and (2) reinforced concrete (RC) frames in which RC is replaced with R/ECC at the plastic hinge regions.
