I have read out a lot of paper about bendable concrete. please anyone can help me make concrete elastic or introducing shape regain able property in concrete after bending.
You can check different papers of Maninder Singh, NIT Kurukshetra
He has done lots of work on ECC

One material that can be used to make concrete more elastic is polypropylene fibers. These fibers can be added to the concrete mix in small quantities, typically at a dosage rate of 0.5% to 2% by volume. The fibers improve the concrete's toughness and ductility, which can make it more resistant to cracking and better able to withstand thermal and shrinkage stresses. Other potential materials that can be used to improve the elasticity of concrete include steel fibers, synthetic fibers, and natural fibers. Consult with a structural engineer for specific advice on which material would be best for your application.
it is concrete intriduced by Prof. Victor li. Fibers reinforcement, Slick coating (anti-friction coating),Fine sand, Super plasticizer these materials made this concrete special.
- 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.
- tlcohol-fibres covered with a very thin, slick coating which prevents the fibre from rupturing. Thus ECC deforms much more than a normal concrete but without fracturing.
- uPolyvinyl Alcohol-fibres covered with a very thin, slick coating which prevents the fibre from rupturing. Thus ECC deforms much more than a normal concrete but without fracturing.
- The conpressive strength tresting machine is different than the normal compressive testing macine which we use to test the Compressive strength in india so even though you do made a Bendable concrete you will need to have strength testing machine which is a quite difficult.
