This paper presents a microstructural investigation of steel corrosion in strain hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) and reveals underlying mechanisms of reduced corrosion in R/SHCC. Results show that SHCC provides strong confinement to the corroded steel bar, which delays crack initiation and p...
