Abstract |
|
The Flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams with Ferrocement lost forms was experimentally investigated. The test includes six Ferrocement beams and two control beams of M30 grade is used to compare the strength with ferrocement beams. The purpose of study is to observe the performance of the tested beams, modes of failures and so on. Mid span deflection, crack width, crack propagation and crack spacing were measured during the course of test. The Flexural strength properties of these Ferrocement beams are evaluated and compared under the four point Static and Cyclic loading systems. The results shows that the Ferrocement beam can obviously increase the load bearing capacity when compare to the control beam. This performance shows that the Ferrocement lost forms is efficient method in corrosion resistance, weather proofing and esthetic characteristics. |
