Abstract

The recent application of ferrocement includes prefabricated roof elements, load bearing panels, bridge decks and others. This present study deals with the experimental investigation of ferrocement deep beams with partial replacement of river sand by pond ash under two point loads. A total of 18 deep beams have been casted of dimension 120x250mm and the lengths of beams have been varied along with the variation of wire mesh layers and mortar strength kept constant. Before testing the top surface of these beams were white washed, to get a clear picture of crack pattern. Along with these beams 18 cubes have been casted with the dimension 7.06cmx7.06cmx7.06cm.the compressive strength of motor is determined.
