Abstract

A Light weight ferrocement is a composite material consisting of cement-sand mortar (matrix) along with light weight ne aggregate ( In this research blast furnace slag is employed as light weight ne aggregate ) as a replacement of sand in some quantity and reinforced with layers of small diameter wire meshes . These studies mainly attempt to determine the rst crack strength, ultimate strength and the inuence of mesh wires on some of these properties. This work has been proposed to investigate on the Load-Deection and Moment-Curvature characteristics of lightweight ferrocement in monotonic and repeated loading. These results are expected to be useful in a better understanding of the exural behaviour of lightweight ferrocement and in the design of such members subjected to monotonic and repeated loading.
