dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the effects of using limestone powder (LSP) and high-volume fly ash (FA) as partial replacement for silica sand (SS) and portland cement (PC), respectively, on the durability properties of sustainable engineered cementitious composites (ECC). The mixture design of ECC included FA/PC ratio of 1.2, 2.2 and 3.2, while LSP was used at 0%, 50% and 100% of SS by mass for each FA/PC ratio. Freeze-thaw and rapid chloride ions penetrability (RCPT) tests were performed to assess the durability properties of ECC, while the compressive and flexural strength tests were carried out to appraise the mechanical properties. Moreover, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests were performed to characterize the pore structure of ECC and to associate porosity with the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, RCPT and mechanical strengths. It was found that using FA/PC ratio of more than 1.2 worsened both the mechanical and durability properties of ECC. Replacement of LSP for SS enhanced both mechanical strengths and durability characteristics of ECC, owing to refined pore size distribution caused by the microfiller effect. It can be further inferred from MIP test results that the total porosity had a vital effect on the resistance to freezing-thawing cycles and chloride ions penetration in sustainable ECC.
