Development of ecological strain-hardening cementitious composites incorporating high-volume ground-glass pozzolans

A novel strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) incorporating high-volume ground-glass pozzolans (HVGP) has been developed by coupling particle packing optimization with micromechanical tailoring. For the former, the compressible packing density model was adopted, while for the latter, single-fiber pull-out and fracture mechanics tests were conducted to compile model input parameters. Ground-glass pozzolans also known as glass powder …
