A review study & recommendation on Bendable Concrete
Keywords:
Corrosion problemAbstract
The Concrete material used for construction due to its advantage over other material such as its mold-ability to desire shape and economical as construction material over other material. But due to inability of resistance to tension it fail to fulfill the requirement of some critical situation. So to overcome the lacuna of concrete and improve the flexibility property of concrete it is require to add some additional material. So, the concrete mix with addition with additional material to improve the tensile strength is a Engineered Composite Material abbreviated as ECC and also called as bendable concrete. The bendable concrete material has promise for solving some of the deck durability problems we face, such as premature cracking. We're hoping the ECC will work well, and possibly lower the cost when experience is gained on large scale production. The work by ECC for any structure which has experienced three winters of freezing and thawing cycles, has much better crack control than the normal concrete. The ECC path with sensors to monitor the performance of the material as it is exposed to environmental load. The newly constructed Mihara Bridge in Hokkaido, Japan, has a 5 cm ultra-thin deck of ECC which is expected to open to traffic after short period. The bridge is 40 percent lighter than traditional concrete, and has an expected service life of 100 years.
