Investigation of Ferrocement Plate Affected by Flexural Filling up

Abstract

Abstract: In spite of the fact that terrorist attacks are exceptional instances caused by human dynamic loads, such as blast loads, which must be carefully calculated like wind and seismic loads, the increased number of terrorist attacks in the last few years has largely shown that the impact of blast loads on structures is a real concern that we should take into account during the configuration procedure of structures. This article also introduces the behavior of ferrocement composites under blast loading, which are used as long-lasting formwork in traditional reinforced concrete constructions. Specimens of single ferro cement panels are subjected to blast load testing both analytically and experimentally, and the behavior of load deflection is then examined.
