Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are known for their strain-hardening behavior under tension, and have been increasingly applied in engineering practice. However, the lack of understanding about the performance of ECC exposed to elevated temperatures limits their application in some special fields. Therefore, the residual mechanical performance of ECC containing very high volume fly ash (FA/C = 4.4) and polyvinyl alcohol fibers (HVFA-ECC) was investigated after temperature exposures of 20 degrees C, 50 degrees C, 100 degrees C and 200 degrees C, considering the melting temperature of polyvinyl alcohol fiber is about 230 degrees C. The test results indicated that HVFA-ECC maintains its unique multiple cracking and pseudo strain hardening characteristics after temperature exposure within this range. The tensile properties, including the ultimate tensile strength and tensile strain capacity, increased after the 50 degrees C and 100 degrees C treatments, but diminished after the 200 degrees C exposure. To better understand the impacts of thermal exposure, tests were carried out on the fiber tensile strength, fiber/matrix interfacial bond and matrix fracture toughness. It was found that the fiber's tensile strength retained its room temperature value up to 100 degrees C exposure, but dropped significantly after undergoing the 200 degrees C heating. The interface parameters (chemical bonding G(d) and frictional bonding tau(0)) and the strain-hardening index (J'(b)/J(tip)) have a similar trend as the composite tensile properties, which explained the variation of composite response with thermal treatment. The test results indicates that HVFA-ECC can resist a sub-elevated temperature (<= 200 degrees C) exposure, and a moderate temperature treatment (<= 100 degrees C) may actually enhance ECC's tensile properties. This study provides a scientific basis for further development of ECC for elevated temperature applications and also a possible technique to improve ECC's mechanical properties.
