Abstract

Ferrocement is a thin, versatile construction material, with several unique properties and is suitable for a wide range of applications in Civil Engineering. Generally, concrete structures are designed for static loads but sometimes dynamic loads like blasts, etc. Prefabricated elements are used in the construction industry as an alternative system to overcome the formwork problems in addition to getting better quality control. The prefabricated elements made of reinforced concrete are extremely heavy and difficult to transport, placing in position, and construct. Because of its good structural performance and low-cost ferrocement is used in the construction industry. Ferrocement is suitable for the construction of roofing/floor elements, precast units, manhole covers, and the construction of domes, vaults, grid surfaces, and folded plates. So finding the flexural behavior of ferrocement is necessary. Therefore, the flexural strength is determined by varying the meshes in the U-section and varying the thickness of the beam. An experimental and finite element analysis on flexural behavior of ferrocement U-shape channel section reinforced with wire mesh with varying number of wire mesh layers is presented. A finite element analysis of the U-shape ferrocement channel was carried out. The finite element analysis (FEA) has been also used to model the ferrocement U-shape channel for various spans and thicknesses. Ferrocement U-shape channel with varies thickness and number of mesh layers analyzed in ANSYS.
