Abstract
In this study, flexural behaviour of the Ferrocement panels of size 500 mm x 500 mm x 50 mm with partial replacement of ceramic powder under monotonic loading is observed. All the Ferrocement panels were casted with cement mortar of mix proportion 1:4 with w/c ratio of 0.45 and all the specimens were casted with single layer of galvanized welded wire mesh of 2mm diameter with mesh opening of 12.5 mm x 12.5 mm. The ceramic powder is administered at various percentage replacement of cement by weight and the adopted variations are 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. Compressive strength of the mortar mix for all the different ratios of ceramic powder was carried out and the results were discussed. It can be concluded that the Panel with 10% replacement of ceramic powder offers appreciable results than the other panels.
