Abstract: Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) has excellent toughness, dissipation capacity and distribution of multiple cracking. Application of ECC can improve seismic ability of structures. Fiber reinforced polymer bars have the advantages of high tensile strength, lightweight and non-corrosive. The use of FRP reinforcement in combination with engineered cementitious composites (ECC) provides structural composite members with relatively large elastic deflection capacity and bearing capacity. The interfacial bond characteristics of the combination between FRP bars with ECC and the seismic performance of its structures are introduced. The results show that interaction of FRP bars and ECC matrix with ductile stress-strain behavior in tension results in nonlinear elastic flexural response characteristics with stable hysteretic behavior, small residual deformation. Finally the integrated performance index for evaluating the seismic performance of FRP bars combination with ECC structures are summarized, and the need for further research is proposed.

Key words: ECC, fiber reinforced polymer reinforced, FRP reinforced ECC members, seismic performance
