  • Abstract:
  • Ferro-cement, also known as ferro concrete or reinforced concrete, is a Portland cement and sand mixture that is poured on top of layers of rebar—small, tightly spaced steel rods—that are woven or stretched steel mesh. Using conventional concrete exposes it to wear and tear, spalling, cracking, and low tensile strength over time. Ferro-cement is a wonderful way to reduce these constraints of conventional concrete. These days, ferrocement sheets are most frequently utilized as retrofitting materials since they are readily available, reasonably priced, durable, and have the flexibility to be formed into any shape without requiring a lot of formwork. The current study examines the impact of wire mesh orientation on the strength of stressed beams that have been modified with ferro-cement jackets. The acquired results will demonstrate an increase in the wire mesh load carrying capability for molded cubes with ferro-cement and more layers of wire mesh. This study experiments and examines the ferro-cement's compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength in relation to conventional concrete. The findings indicate that ferro-cement with single and double layer mesh has higher percentages of compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength than ordinary concrete.
