In order to improve the compressive toughness of engineered cementitious composites(ECC) with high strength, hybrid polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) steel fiber reinforced ECC were developed by incorporating additional steel micro fibers into traditional ECC. Cylinder specimens were tested under uniaxial compression to investigate the mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced ECC. Test results show that the ascending slope of stress strain curves is increased with the increasing addition of steel fibers,while the descending portion is gradually improved and leads to higher residual stress. The uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus and peak strain of hybrid fiber reinforced ECC are slightly increased respectively with the increasing additional steel fibers, while a significant improvement is achieved for compressive toughness. Hybrid PVA steel fiber system exhibits advantages over mono fiber system. ECC with both high strength and high compressive toughness are obtained.
