Seismic performance is of paramount importance for structures in regions with high seismic risk. Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) exhibits tensile strain hardening behavior and excellent crack dispersion capacity, as well as good workability. The application of ECC material may be a feasible way to improve the seismic behavior of engineering structures. This paper presents a comprehensive review of experimental and simulation studies concerning seismic behavior of reinforced ECC members and reinforced concrete/ECC composite members. The review is mainly focused on design programs for structural members and their seismic response behavior. The effectiveness of the application of ECC for seismic improvement is discussed. Several design recommendations are provided, based on comparison of the related studies.
