Abstract:

The use of cementitious composites for infrastructures applications is becoming more popular with the introduction of new```` high-performance materials. Ferrocement laminates are introduced to enhance the overall performance of structure such as composite bridge deck, beams and bearing walls and most importantly the sites where the structure is complicated and difficult to place the reinforcement. Traditional steel ties reinforcement cannot provide superior confinement for structures due to the constraints on tie spacing and disturbance of concrete continuity. Increasing the no. of layers caused substantion increase in flexural load, improvement in ductility behaviour and compressive strength. Use of PVC-Coated wire mesh can be used effectively in ferrocement slabs, as non-corrosive reinforcement.
