fiber is greater than ECC with 0.2 % of fibercontent. 5. The flexural strength of Flexible concrete which is having 0.4% volume of fiber is greater when compared with 0.2% volume of fiber. 6. The tensile strength of Flexible concrete with 0.4% of volume is greater than bendable concrete with 0.2% volume offiber. 7. The partial replacement of cement with GGBS gave effective results regarding strength and cracking . Hence replacement of cement more than 10 % can also be adopted. 8. The adoption of volume of fiber can be increased in order to get better results regarding strength, cracking, ductilityetc. 9. The strength of Flexible concrete in all aspects is more than Conventionalconcrete. 10. The synthetic fibers are cheaply available and hence can be used in flexible concrete and the fibers may be altered in order to reduce thecost.

7.2 FUTURE SCOPE

Since Flexible concrete is light in weight, it can be used in sky scrapers and heavy buildings. It can be used in Earthquake resistant structures and joint less bridge. ECC is the upcoming advancement in technology which will replace the conventional concrete in countries which are more prone to naturaldisasters. In India, it is still a new material and requires proper research for its use.
