Asshown in Figure 2.5, the strain-hardening behavior provides an ultimate strength greaterthan the first cracking strength. Other fiber reinforced <strong>concrete</strong>s such <strong>as</strong> EngineeredCementitious Composites (ECC) or Slurry infiltrated composites exhibit this strainhardening response under tension, but do not exhibit negligible permeability.12
