Tensile Strength of Ferrocement with respect to Specific Surface

Swayambhu Bhalsing, Sayyed Shoaib, Pankaj Autade

The study reported herein investigates the increase in tension due to increase in contact area between wire meshes and mortar, i.e. increase in specific surface of ferrocement. For achieving higher values of specific surface, No. of Layers of meshes needs to be increased. Behavior of such ferrocement is studied which includes mechanical properties for determining the relations between the tensile strength of ferrocement with respect to the specific surface using various combination of meshes which is to be used in ferrocement
