Performance of ferrocement panels in different environments
To exploit the potential of ferrocement as a construction material, a proper understanding of material behaviour under different environmental conditions is essential. The main objective of this investigation is to study the performance of ferrocement panels under normal, moderate, and hostile environments. These conditions were created using potable and saline water for mixing and curing. Fly ash, a waste material, was also used as partial replacement of cement. The ferrocement slab panels cast with varying number of woven and hexagonal mesh layers were tested under flexure. Compressive and tensile strength of control specimens and load-carrying capacity of the panels under flexure with and without fly ash were investigated. Addition of fly ash in different environments affects the flexural strength of panel for both woven and hexagonal wire fabric. Scanned images of specimens provide an insight into the texture for virgin and distressed states.
