Ferrocement as a Material
This rep"rt is my individual project for the City and Guilds of London Institute Diplorna in Advanced Concrete Technology, 1976. The subject is FERROCEMENT, its composition, structure and properties and the report is the result of a literature study. To secure the literature, I have been in connection with libraries from other countries than Denmark. Some experiments have been made in the laboratories in Wexham Springs and Fulmer Granges. I extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Barton and other members of the staff for their assistance with the practice. I also wish to convey my warm gratitude to my supervisor, Mr. Alistair Gardner. The report is written by Miss Tove Jensen and the drawings are made by Mrs. Ingrid Christensen, to whom I send my sincere thanks for perfect w ork. Jens Kr. Jehrbo Jensen ; FERROCEMENT is not a new material. In 1850 Jean Louis Lambot took out a patent on FERCIMENT, and in 1930's Pier Luigi Nervi created FERROCEMENT. In this report the structure (meshes, rods and mortar) and composition (diameter and widths of meshes and rods, water/cement ratio, aggregat e/ cement ratio) are described. The mechanical properties (tension, compression, bending, impact, fatigue and dynamic behaviour) are detailed treated. The problems about permeability, freezing/thawing and corrosion are mentioned. Some new experiments are deseribed in connection with the practical manufacturing of FERROCEMENT. Fields of applications are commented.
