摘要：The present study describes the results of testing flat ferrocement panels reinforced with differentnumbers of woven mesh layers and three different types of steel fiber, for the mix that replaces river sand with crushsand. The main objective of this work is to study the effect of using woven wire mesh as reinforcement along withdifferent types of steel fibers on the ultimate flexural strength of ferrocast panels. The number of layers used wereminimum of 2. Panels were casted with mortar mix ratio (1:1.5) and water cement ratio (0.4) including super plasticizer( Perma Ps-34 ) with dosage of 1.5% by weight of cement. Panels were tested under two point loading system underUTM machine after curing period of 28 days. Test results shows that panels combined with hooked end fibres exhibitsgreater flexural strength and less deflection as that compared with panels having less mesh layers and other steel fibers.The energy absorption of these panels were also studied through impact test. The results showed that the addition offibers increased the first crack load and ultimate failure load for all types of fibres.
