Eco-Friendly Ductile Cementitious Composites (EDCC) for Seismic Retrofit

---

EDCC is an extremely novel and first of its kind application for use primarily in the seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry walls. This spray-on technology incorporates a highly sustainable and cost-effective mixture of recycled admixtures that have proven to be extremely effective at greatly enhancing the ductility and strength of unreinforced structures. Its ease of placement and unique flexural advantages make it very unique in the field of seismic upgrade with the potential for additional applications with other infrastructure improvements.

Objectives

1. Discuss highly sustainable composition of the mix design and components
2. Demonstrate ease of application
3. Describe what makes this application unique and superior to current applications for retrofit and repair work
4. Discuss highly sustainable and cost-effective benefits of the application

Company Overview:

AtlantisFiber™ provides solutions that help to improve the environmental impact and aid in the long-term resiliency of concrete. Our products significantly increase the durability of concrete and greatly reduce the risk of structural failure during seismic events. AtlantisFiber has developed two applications for the concrete admixture industry that utilize recycled polymeric fiber in shrinkage and crack control,  repair work and seismic retrofit that offer several distinct advantages that include superior cost-performance, as well as a very attractive environmental benefit.
