| description | Ferrocement, a thin wall cement mortar reinforced with wire mesh and now considered to
be a very innovative construction material, was known to be used over hundred years ago.
Ferrocement is the most effective route to impart outstanding crack control to the concrete
matrix and through this crack control, develop excellent mechanical properties, energy
absorption characteristics, toughness and impact resistance. The principle of ferrocement is
to understand it mechanism whereby the reinforcement and matrix interact to distribute
strains, improve first crack strength and control the size and spacing of cracks. Numerous
theoretical and experimental studies have been undertaken all over the world in recent
years to investigate the properties of ferrocement and explore its potential field of
applications. It is obviously unrealistic to talk about ferrocement replacing reinforced
concrete for all the purposes, but it is undeniable that there are many situations where the
use of the ferrocement concept can be more cost effective in terms of construction costs
and its service life span. It is now clear that ferrocement, a versatile construction material,
has a bright prospect and will definitely find better utilization in the future. |
