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 inuence of mesh wires on some of these properties. This work has been proposed to investigate on the Load-Deection 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.
