Abstract
This paper discusses the adequateness of the steady state flat crack criterion for crack propagation in Engineered Cementitious Composites. The requirement of a minimum complementary energy for the fiber bridging curve is found not to be relevant in the aim of controlling the crack opening under crack propagation.
