WHAT IS ENGINEERED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITE (ECC)?
Example of Ductility Exhibited By An Engineered Cementitious Composite
Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), also known as bendable concrete, is an advanced material that combines Ordinary Portland Cement with unique ingredients and low-volume fibers. Unlike brittle conventional concrete, ECC exhibits high ductility and tensile strength, behaving more like a flexible metal. This characteristic makes ECC highly resistant to cracking under various loads, enhancing structural durability and expanding its potential applications in construction.
ELCEMITE builds upon ECC and Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) technologies, offering similar benefits while introducing significant eco-friendly features. It upcycles over 60% post-consumer waste, reduces OPC use and water consumption, and utilizes supplementary cementing materials for enhanced strength and lower carbon emissions. ELCEMITE's unique properties include high flexural strength, self-curing ability, resistance to various environmental factors, and compatibility with nail guns, making it a versatile and sustainable solution for modern construction needs.
