Abstract: Aiming to explore the influence mechanism of steel slag aggregate and fly ash on mechanical properties and mass transport of engineered cementitious composite (ECC), the mechanical properties and mass transport performance of ECC with different steel slag replacement ratios and fly ash contents were studied by a series of tests, including porosity, compressive strength, tensile properties, capillary water absorption, and resistance to chloride ion erosion. The degree hydration of fly ash/cement cementitious system was explored by hydration degree analysis and microscopic morphological observation as the same. In addition, a prediction model for relative water content distribution in ECC was established based on unsaturated absorption theory. The results show that incorporation into steel slag enhances strength and permeability resistance but slightly reduced tensile strain capacity of the ECC. When the mass ratio of fly ash to cement increases from 1.2 to 2.0, the ultimate tensile strain of ECC increases by 30.89%. The main reason for steel slag to improve the strength and impermeability of ECC is the promoting effect on the hydration degree of fly ash/cement cementitious system.
