Ferrocement is a thin-walled reinforced concrete formed by small-diameter wire meshes placed uniformly throughout the cross-section in cement mortar. Its tensile strength-to-weight ratio is very high compared to reinforced concrete, showing a superior cracking behavior. Though ferrocement is not a sustainable material, it is cost-effective and highly efficient. It is fireproof, strong, economical, rust-free, earthquake resistant, […]
