  • Abstract:
  • Ferro-cement consist closely space one or more than one layer of fine road or mesh embedded in cement mortar which is calculated mix amount of cement sand and water. It has many applications in newly constructed structures and recondition and repair of existing structures. Ferro-cement has homogenous isotropic properties, high modulus and high tensile strength of rupture as it is reinforced two directions. It is low cost in maintenance and repair and economical. It is applicable in stairs, housing, wall panel, formwork, lintel, boats, water tanks, roof etc. Ferro-cement material is especially applicable for precast items in the view of its simple construction and lower dead weight of the casted units. Ferro cement Fiber Reinforcement is the mixture of Fiber and Ferro cement. the prevent the crack development.Compressive strength and Flexural strength increases the Ferro cement.
