摘要：Ferrocement is a thin composite made with a cement based mortar matrix reinforced with closely spacedlayers of relatively small diameter wire mesh. Over the years, applications involving ferrocement have increased due toits properties such as strength, toughness, water tightness, lightness, ductility and environmental stability. Ferrocementmay be cast in various shapes and forms even without the use of form work and are aesthetically very appealing. Due totheir thinness, ferrocement elements can be used as roofing, flooring elements to cover large spans. The slenderness ofthese elements may adversely affect their performance under working loads. Hence, there is a need to study theirflexural behaviour such as first crack strength, load-deflection behaviour. The present study describes the result oftesting folded ferrocement panel reinforced with number of wire mesh layer. The main aim of these experimental testsis to study the effect of folded ferrocement panel using different number of wire mesh layers on the flexural strength byvarying the numbers of wire mesh layers on cracking, load deflection behaviour, ductility and ultimate flexural strength.This is useful to find solutions by searching new design techniques and method of constructions.
