Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) also called as Bendable concrete is an easily moulded mortar based composite reinforced with specially selected short random fibres. Traditional concrete suffers catastrophic failure when strained in an earthquake or by routine overuse. ECC remains intact and safe to use at tensile strains up to 5%. Traditional concrete fractures and may not carry a load at 0.01 % tensile strain. In this paper, to overcome the demand for concrete in future and to develop the fibre materials, the Poly Vinyl Alcohol Fibre is used so as to reduce the cement content and to enhance flexibility. It has high aspect ratio, high ultimate tensile strength, relatively high modulus of elasticity, good chemical compatibility with Portland cement, good affinity with water and no health risks. To increase the workability of concrete super plasticizer is used. The compressive strength and flexural strength of cubes and slabs (two different thicknesses) is determined and also the bendability characteristics of the concrete are checked during flexural strength
