Mechanism of PVA fibers in mitigating explosive spalling of engineered cementitious composite at elevated temperature

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers have been found effective in preventing explosive spalling of engineered cementitious composite (ECC) under fire loading. However, the fundamental mechanism of minimizing the spalling risk by adding PVA fibers remains unclear. Thus, this paper addresses the mode of act...
