Foreword
Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach. Probably no other proverb causes academics and professors to cringe more, but, fortunately, it is wrong. As evidence, I present this wonderful book written by a distinguished professor who did create a new field in civil engineering. Based on the rigorous foundations of micromechanics coupled with an insightful understanding of the microstructure existing in composite cementitious materials, Professor Victor Li developed Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), a lasting contribution to the design and construction of the civil infrastructure. One of the major benefits of being invited to write this foreword is that I received an advanced copy of the book. You are in for a treat. Even if you are familiar with ECC and eager to immerse yourself into the rigorous micromechanics foundation (▶ Chap. 2) and its links to mechanical properties (▶ Chap. 4) or to ascertain the ECC constitutive modeling (▶ Chap. 5) or to learn how to design resilient ECC structural
