Although Concrete is one of the most resourceful and commonly used building material, the material's brittle nature remains a significant handicap for seismic and other applications where versatile behaviour is important. This might manifest as unnecessary deflections and cracking by poor output during service initialization. This feature restricts this material's utilisation and can be rescued by incorporating limited quantities of uniformly scattered fibres such as polypropylene fibres. This research aims to enhance traditional property of standard concrete used in pavement design. For the last five years, solid concrete overlays have been used to construct and restore buildings such as roads, bridge decks and airports. While rigid pavement overlays have advantages as long service life and strong longevity, there are problems with reflective cracking and bond products. High strength ductility and increased toughness properties indicate that Advanced Cementitious Composites (ECC) may be used as an enticing substitute to traditional concrete overlay products. To reduce environmental effects and enhance the durability of pavement overlay systems, a class of materials called Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is developed to create more durable, long-lasting rigid pavement overlay. ECC ductility suppresses reflective cracking, a significant cause of premature overlay degradation, increasing longevity and reducing life-cycle maintenance. Ductile strength of regular concrete may be strengthened by having cementitious composites or Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC Concrete) or more generally named Bendable Concrete. This concrete's micro-crack pattern reveals Bendable concrete's ductile nature. This composite displays considerably improved versatility. Fiber reinforced concrete has strong flexural and tensile power, increased ductility, and good energy absorption over standard concrete to support complex loads. The test outcome indicates that utilizing Polypropylene Fiber increases the beams' flexural strength and ductility. Based on the findings of the experimental test, it can be inferred that incorporating polypropylene 3.0 % or less by weight of cement has the greatest impact on ductility and flexural power.
