Can Concrete Be Flexible? Concrete is known for its strength under compression, but it is weak in tension, making it prone to cracking when pulled, bent, or stretched. It is a brittle material. Elastomeric concrete addresses these weaknesses by incorporating rubber particles and synthetic polymers, which enable it to absorb shocks, bend without cracking, and resist dynamic forces such as traffic impacts and vibrations. Additionally, fiber reinforcement enhances its ductility, further preventing
