STUDY ON FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF CONVENTIONAL & CORRUGATED FERROCEMENT PANELS USING DIFFERENT TYPES OF WIRE MESH

Abstract

An experimental investigation on ferrocement cast-in-situ panels are construct with Portland pozzolona cement(PPC) and manufactured sand of passing through 4.75mm sieve and cement and sand mix ratio as M15 grade propose respectively 1:2 and panels are in size of 900mmX300mmX50mm. In ferrocement panels have use different types of wire mesh like- Galvanize iron wire mesh, Bending wire mesh, Metallic wire mesh, Aluminium wire mesh. Panels as cast in double layer wire mesh. As the purpose of minimize the corrosion in wire mesh to increase the flexural strength of panels.
