Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) also called as Bendable concrete is an easily molded mortar based composite reinforced with specially selected short random fibers. Engineered cementitious composite developed in the last decade. A new kind of multi scale engineered cementitious composite which contains polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) whisker, was designed from the perspective of multi-scale structure and fracture process of cementitious material. ECC proportions was casted and the mechanical properties including compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural behavior and microstructure of the mixtures were studied. The result indicates that the strength and ductility of ECC was enhanced with proper addition of CaCO3 whisker. Moreover the PVA fiber can be appropriately reduced due to the existence of CaCO3 whisker, which is beneficial in decreasing the production cost of fiber reinforced cementitious composites for large –scale construction projects.
