| ABSTRACT:- The growing need for cheaper construction is much-discussed subject. Prefabricated ferrocement panels present a series of possibilities for the solution of construction problem. By using the unique properties of ferrocement with a relatively low amount of reinforcement, be composite floor and wall panels can assembled into an effective multi-purpose panel system. The major advantages of this system over current construction methods are mainly due to the reduction in structural dead load and the use of fewer building elements, which are much easier to handle. In the present investigation, two ferrocement channel-like beams to form I-cross section beam and four ferrocement plates are cast and tested due to flexural loading. The structural behaviour was monitored by reading the deflection and by observing the crack patterns. The measured values of deflections and the observations made indicated that ferrocement can be used in construction of buildings. Keywords:- construction, structural, ferrocement. | ||
