At present, the exploitation of river sand is forbidden because of the harm to the environment. The production processes of microsilica sand are complicated and the cost is high. The excellent availability of desert sand provides a practical solution for using it as the aggregate, this research used high-volume fly ash, steel fiber, PVA fiber and some or all of the Mu Us desert sand to replace the river sand to prepare the Desert-Sand-based steel-PVA hybrid Fiber Reinforced ECC (H-DSECC) that meets the performance requirements. Through the single factor test, the steel fiber replacement rate and the desert sand replacement rate were taken as the main factors, and the mechanical properties of H-DSECC were initially explored. The results show that the high steel fiber replacement rate or high desert sand replacement rate is not conducive to the realization of strain-hardening. An H-DSECC mixture containing 40% desert sand with W/B ratio of 0.29 has delivered the best properties with the tensile strain capacity of 1.467%, the tensile strength is 7.5 MPa and the cylinder compressive strength is 41.03 MPa at 28 days. Based on the measured stress-strain curves, the uniaxial tension/compression stress-strain curve equations are proposed.
