Bendable concrete is composed of all the ingredients of a traditional concrete minus coarse aggregates and is reinforced with polymer fibres.It contains cement, sand, water, fibres,and admixtures.ECC is 37%less expensive, consumes 40% less energy, and produces 39% less carbon dioxide than regular concrete. ECC incorporates high volumes of industrial wastes including fly ash. The bendable concrete is made of same ingredients as in regular concrete minus the coarse aggregate. It looks exactly like normal concrete, but under excusive strain, the ECC concrete allows, the specially coated net work of fibre in the cement to slide within the cement, thus avoiding the inflexibility that causes brittleness and breakage. The key factor is that ECC is engineered, means in addition to the reinforcing the concrete with micro fibres. In these, a literature study was carried out in order to prepare bendable concrete and comparing the bendable concrete to the traditional one. An experimental has been carried out for M30 concrete using the optimum percentage of partial replacement of cement with fly ash and incorporating with different percentages of Recron 3S fibre. Fly ash was partially replaced as cement by 0%,10%, 20% and 30% and Recron 3S fibre as 0%, 1% and 2%and 3% respectively. Conventional concrete cubes, cylinders were casted and tested for 7 days and 28 days. Unlike regular concrete, ECC has a strain capacity in the range of 3% – 7%, compared to 0.01% for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). ECC therefore acts more like a ductile metal than a brittle glass (as does OPC concrete), leading to a wide variety of applications. Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), was developed by the Professor Victorli at the University of Michigan.
