An investigation of ferro-cement

In this study the properties of ferro-cement are investigated. Ferro-cement is a kind of reinforced concrete differing from normal reinforced concrete in that cement mortar and fine steel reinforcement are used rather than aggregate concrete and bar reinforcement. Concrete consistency and three kinds of reinforcement are taken as the parameters which affect the properties of the ferro-cement, Tests are carried out on beams subjected to bending while varying these parameters. A comparative analysis of the experimental results is made and some analytical explanations are included. It was found that mortar with high cement content and fine mesh reinforcement delayed the crack formations and increased the ultimate load carrying capacities of the beams.
