被撤回的出版物: Design approach, mechanical properties and cost-performance evaluation of ultra-high performance engineered cementitious composite (UHP-ECC): A review (Retracted article. See vol. 395, 2023)

Ultra-high performance engineered cementitious composite (UHP-ECC) is gaining significant interest among civil engineering researchers, owing to its excellent mechanical performance. This review is carried out to systematically summarize the design approach and fundamental factors influencing the mechanical properties of UHPECC, specifically the fiber parameters, water-binder ratio, nanomaterials, mineral admixtures, cyclic load, and strain rate. Besides, shrinkage performance and shrinkage mitigation approach of UHP-ECC are also discussed in this paper. Finally, the structural application of UHP-ECC is summarized. Based on the Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method, the economic evaluation of the mixture proportion of current available UHP-ECCs is conducted to suggest the mixture proportions for the design of highly costeffective UHP-ECC.
