The performance of traditional steel‐concrete composite beams, which are commonly used in many building floor systems, could be further enhanced by introducing Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) as an additional composite component. The performance of such ECC‐concrete‐steel composite beams under high shear loading conditions will be significantly affected by the bond‐slip behavior between ECC and structural steel section. When studying the bond slip behavior between ECC and structural steel, simple push test is an inexpensive and convenient method to investigate the complex interaction between ECC and steel. Such push test study is an important step toward understanding the bond behavior and evaluating the performance of these types of beams. In this context, this paper presents results from twelve specially designed push tests that aim to determine the bond characteristics between ECC and structural steel strips. The results of this study present the bond stress‐slip behavior and failure modes under different cover thickness of ECC and the bond length specimens.
