Bond behaviour of ferrocement with different wire mesh specifications

The residential and industrial construction industries are expanding quickly. Modern technology is necessary for this expansion. There are some applications where the traditional building materials utilised on a big scale are inappropriate. Therefore, research scientists throughout the world are working to evolve new building materials and techniques. A couple of the difficulties being addressed include the creation of materials for affordable homes and the development of expedient construction techniques. This is the primary driver for the development of cement in building technology. Ferrocement is different type of composite material which has been used in the industry for various purpose in various form. Ferrocement construction technique is believed to be one of the distinctive techniques of construction that now a days used in many countries. [1] Ferrocement, a composite material, is a thin-sectioned mortar that is heavily reinforced. Given that it is a composite material composed of wire mesh and cement mortar, it is important to determine if the two components are properly bonded. In this study, the binding strength of this composite material is examined by increasing the wire mesh’s center-to-center distance from 15x15 mm to 25x25 mm and its diameter from 1.2 mm to 1.6 mm, respectively. The findings indicate that the bond value of the material reduces as diameter and spacing increase.
