ABSTRACT

Bendable concrete also known as engineered cementitious composites (ECC)

is a class of ultra ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composite , characterized by
high ductility and tight crack width control . This material is capable to exhibit
considerably enhance flexibility. In this study, a comparison between conventional
concrete and engineered cementitious composites was done .The properties of ECC,
its advantages and disadvantages ,field applications are discussed .this study will be
useful to understand the importance of ECC in the construction industry.
