In recent years, high-ductility concrete (HDC) has gradually become popular in the construction industry because of its excellent ductility and crack resistance. Concrete itself is a kind of building material with poor tensile properties, and it is necessary to add a large number of steel bars to improve its tensile properties, which increases the construction cost of buildings. However, most of the research studies on high-ductility concrete are scattered. In this paper, the basic mechanical properties of high-ductility concrete and the effects of dry and wet cycles, freeze-thaw cycles, and salt erosion on the durability of high-ductility concrete are obtained by comprehensive analysis. The results show that the tensile properties of HDC can be significantly improved by adding appropriate fiber. When the volume fraction of steel fiber is 2.0%, the splitting tensile strength of concrete is increased by 98.3%. The crack width threshold of concrete chloride erosion is 55-80 μm, and when the crack width threshold is exceeded, the diffusion of CL-1 will be accelerated, and the HDC can control the crack within the threshold, thereby improving the durability of the concrete. Finally, the current research status of high-ductility concrete is analyzed, and the future development of high-ductility concrete is proposed.

When cracks appear in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, the tensile load will be borne by steel bars with high ductility, resulting in a large deformation. Traditional strain sensors have difficulties in achieving good performance for large deformations in concrete structures. In this paper, based on a laser-induced graphene (LIG) technique, a flexible sensor is proposed for monitoring large deformations of concrete structures.

To optimize the brittle failure of reinforced conerete (RC) over-reinforeed beams and enhance their flexural performance, a novel structural form is proposed. To be specific, the Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) layer is installed on top of the RC over-reinforced beam (ERCOB). A total of six test beams are prepared, comprising one unreinforced beam and five reinforced beams.

To address the issue of pavement cracking due to brittle concrete in road and bridge engineering, this study explores the use of high-ductility magnesium phosphate cementitious concrete (HD-MPCC) for rapid repairs. The deformation and frost properties of HD-MPCC are analyzed to assess its suitability for this application. Deformation properties were tested for HD-MPCC specimens cured in both air and water.
