 INTRODUCTION
Bendable concrete also known as Engineered Cementitious Composites
(ECC). This material is capable to exhibit considerably enhanced
flexibility and tight crack width control. An ECC has a strain capacity of
more than 3% and thus acts more like a ductile metal rather than like a
brittle glass. A bendable concrete is reinforced with micromechanically
designed polymer fibers.
 LITERATURE REVIEW
1. “Experimental Investigation on Bendable Concrete by Using
Admixtures” by Neeladharan C (November 2018)
In this paper, recron 3S fibre and AR glass fibre is used so as to enhance
flexibility.
It was concluded that split tensile and compression strength of ECC is
increased at 1.5% proportion of fibre. It also proves that ECC obtains
twice the flexural strength when compared to normal concrete.
2. “Experimental Study on Bendable Concrete” by Izhan Kazi (2018)
The ECC is made by using polypropylene fibres and supercon-100
super-plasticizer and coarse aggregates are not used cause it increases
the crack width.
Compressive strength was found to be max. when cement/sand ratio
was 1:0.6.
Flexural strength was maximum for fibre content of 1.5%.
3. “Fibre Reinforced Bendable Concrete” by Alok Ranjan (April 2017)
The ECC is made by using fine silica and tiny PVA fibres by 2%.
The concrete of fibre reinforced bendable concrete like regular
concrete, but is 500 time more resistant to cracking.
The ECC is 40% lighter in weight.
Strain capacity of about 3 to 5 percent compared to 0.01 percent of
normal concrete.
4. “Flexible Behaviour of Concrete Using Engineered Cementitious
Composites” by Tushar R Patil ( May 2017)
The ECC is made by using PVA fiber And glass fiber to achieve high
flexural strength.
ECC concrete has strain capacity of 3-5%.
Flexural strength and bending towards a load of ECC concrete is much
more than conventional concrete.
5. “An comparative study on Conventional concrete and Engineered
Cementitious Composites” by S.Uttamraj
New hybrid fibre-reinforced engineered cementitious composite (ECC)
material reinforced with 1.75% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibre and 0.58%
steel (SE) fibre. The development of this new ECC aims to achieve
better impact resistance.
This study shows that, the increasing the volume fraction of SE fibres in
hybrid fibre-reinforced ECC produces greater strength, but increasing
the amount of the PVA fibre does not results in stronger strain capacity.
6. “Experimental Study on Flexible Concrete” by S. Ooviya and S.
Vaishalani (April 2018)
This experiment consists of using PVA fiber to make the concrete
ductile. 1% and 2% of total mix weight is used.
It is more flexible so that it resists cracks and acts as more efficiency in
seismic regions.
Comparison of compression strength and flexural strength of the
flexible concrete is higher than the conventional cubes and slabs.
7. ‘’Evaluation and Testing of Bendable Concrete Slab with Partial
Replacement of Cement by Industrial and Agricultural by product
and Polyvinyl Alcohol as Fiber’’ by S. Suseendar (2018)
Ductile property of normal concrete can be improved by using PVA
fibers in place of coarse aggregate. This ECC is made by using PVA fiber,
rice husk ash, palm oil fuel ash and superplasticizer (melamide
formaldehyde)
The maximum Compressive strength in Bendable Concrete having 20%
replacement of cement with rice Husk ash and having 2% volume of
fibers is occurred at the mix.
The maximum Flexural strength in Bendable Concrete having 20%
replacement of cement with palm oil fuel ash and having 2% volume of
fibers.
8. “Parametric study on flexural strength of ECC” by Dr. Dinesh Shah (
July 2015)
The ECC is made by using cement PVA fibre, Flyash, water,steel fibre
and a polycarboxylate-based high range water reducer (HRWR).
Steel and PVA fibre increases the flexural strength by 50% when
compared to conventional concrete.
If the percentage of steel fibres is increases from 3 to 4 then nearly
about 15% of increase in flexural strength is noticed whereas in PVA
fibres if percentage is increase from 1.5 to 2 then 20% of increment in
flexural strength is noticed.
9. ‘Experimental Study on ECC Concrete’ by BALAJI R (2018)
The ECC is composed of cement (OPC-53 grade), fine aggregate, water,
superplasticiser (conmix SP 1030), and recron fibre.
It is more flexible so that it resists cracks and is more efficient in seismic
regions.
10. “Experimental Investigation on Bendable Concrete Using Natural
and Artificial Fibres (Jute and Nylon)” by Brinila Bright B N (Apr
2018)
He investigated the ductile property of concrete by replacing coarse
aggregate with jute and nylon fibers and cement partially replaced by
fly ash.
He concluded that by using nylon 1.5% and jute fibers 1.5%, it
improved the flexural behaviour of ecc to about 15 N/mm2
11. “Study on Properties of Concrete using Recron 3s Fiber” by
Korrapati Anil Kumar (Sept 2017)
In this present investigation workability, strength properties of concrete
with Recron 3s fiber in proportions of 0%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% is
studied for M25 and M40 grade concrete cubes, cylinders and prisms
It was concluded that with the increase in the fiber content workability
decreases.
Percentage recommended is 0.3% Recron 3s fiber for achieving
maximum benefits
The compressive strength of M25 concrete at 28 days increased with
the addition of Recron 3s fiber by 18.21% and flexural strength by
23.3%.
12. “Studies on flexural behaviour of PVA reinforced bendable concrete
composite” by Dr M Rame Gowda, Ms Uma Devi (2014)
To study the properties of ECC by using two different admixtures such
as fly ash and rice husk ash.
It was concluded that fly ash based mix with the fibre content of 1.4%
resulted in best load carrying capacity and with maximum deflections.
The rice husk based mix was resulted in taking up very less load and
deflections.
13. ‘Experimental Study on Flexural Response of ECC Strengthened
Reinforced Concrete Beams’ by K Saranya
He conducted an experimental study to explore the possibilities of
using ECC in structural rehabilitation applications by strengthening RC
beams with ECC plastic hinges and ECC layers.
All beams strengthened with ECC plastic hinges and ECC layers were
capable of 2.5 times more loads than the corresponding control beams
with significant increment in ductility.
14. ‘Durable and sustainable overlay with ECC’ by Victor Li (2008)
He carried out an experimental study on durable overlay system with
ECC for repairing deteriorated structures.
He noted significant improvement in the load carrying capacity and
system ductility of ECC overlay over conventional concrete or steel fiber
reinforced concrete overlays.
15. ‘Flexural Response of ECC Strengthened Reinforced Concrete
Beams’ by S. B. Singh (2013)
He investigated the experimental study conducted on flexural behavior
of steel reinforced concrete beams partially strengthened with ECC.
He concluded that all beams strengthened usinf ECC plastic hinges and
layers were capable of taking more load than the corresponding control
beams.
