N2 - Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), a special class of high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites, present, among other features, a superior tensile ductility which is the result of multiple cracking in the material. In the present paper, a micromechanical model is proposed to estimate the tensile strain capacity of ECC. The model takes into account the randomness in size and in spatial distribution of material flaws.
