  "definition": "Engineered Cementitious Composite, a class of high-performance fiber-reinforced cement-based materials characterized by high ductility and strain-hardening behavior under tensile stress. Unlike conventional concrete, ECC can deform significantly without brittle fracture, exhibiting multiple fine cracks instead of a single large one. This material is used in applications requiring enhanced durability and resistance to cracking, such as bridge decks and seismic-resistant structures.",
