Ferrocement Material for Construction
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Ferrocement Is A Composite Material Used To Form Thin Section, It Is Composed Of A Mortar, Reinforcement Includes Light Steel Fabrics And Meshes. Ferro Cement Originated In The 1840 In France And After This A Reinforced Concrete Was Invented. Ferro Cement Cover The Wide Range Of Applications Due To The Low Self Weight, Economic, Lack Of Skilled Workers, No Need Of Frame Work Etc. It Covers Series Of Advantage As Compare To Reinforced Concrete Such As: I) A Wider Range Of Electricity. Ii) Greater Resistance To Extension. Iii) Batter Behavior At Dynamic Stress. Iv) Increased Value Of The Breaking Effort Out Of Extension. Ferro Cement Is Suitable For The Construction Of Roofing/Floor Elements, Precast Units, Manhole Covers, And Construction Of Domes, Vaults, Grid Surface And Folded Plates. It Can Also Be Used For Making Water Tanks, Boats, And Silos. Prefabricated Elements Are Used In Construction Industry As An Alternative System To Overcome The Formwork Problems In Addition To Getting Better Quality Control. The Prefabricated Elements Made Of Reinforced Concrete Are Extremely Heavy And Difficult To Transport, Placing In Position And To Construct. Alternatively, Ferrocement Panels Are Being Used In Construction Industry Due To Its Good Structural Performance And Low Cost. This Paper Concludes That Ferrocement Can Be A Best Suitable Material In Upcoming Years With A Large No Of Applications. In This Paper Review Work Is Presented On Ferrocement As A Construction Material And Its Properties
