 Bendable Concrete

Bendable Concrete also known as Engineered Cementitiuos Composite is a

concrete produced from a mixture of mortar.
 Bendable
Concrete
• It is special type of concrete that
can take the bending stresses.
• It was developed by the
Professor Victor Li at the
University of Michigan.
• Its engineering name is
Engineered Cementitious
Composite(ECC).
 How to make
• how to manufacture bendable concrete is
• 1. Mix carbon fiber with cement and fine
aggregate in dry state (dry mix)
• 2. Spread carbon fiber in water then pour into
slurry with cement and fine aggregate (wet
mix) this way is most widely used.
 Material
• Fiber
Polymer fibers, steel fibers, glass fibers, silica
fibers

• Slick Coating
 Material

• High quality silica sand

• Superplasticizer
 By using bendable concrete, there is no need for joints or
joints such as expansion joint, contraction joint because
bendable concrete is flexible enough to change shape.
