This paper reports the influence of polymer latex on the fresh and the hardened properties of engineered cementitious composites (ECC), a unique strain-hardening cement-based material featuring extreme tensile strain capacity of 3-5%. Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) dispersible polymer powder was emplo...
