Infrastructure With ECC Concrete
What is the total number of life of a Bridge, Building or any other infrastructure? Rain, Heat, cold and some natural disasters brings cracks on them which gradually decrease the life span and one fine day it becomes mandatory to rebuild the entire system. There is a technique which can heal or mend the damage on its own. You may call it as a magic. But it is real. Victor Li, Professor of Civil Engineering and a professor of Materials Science and Engineering has developed ECC concrete with a special coat of reinforcing fibers which allows some micro cracks instead of big cracks destroying the entire structure. Unlike a traditional concrete, ECC Concrete are not brittle and also educe corrosion.
