Ferro-Cement Properties and Uses In Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its\u00a0combination\u00a0 of\u00a0 ferrous\u00a0 product\u00a0 with\u00a0 cement.In the form of steel wires meshes with portland cement mortar. Wire mesh is usually of 0.8 to 1.00 m diameter steel wires at 5 mm to 50 mm spacing and the cement mortar is of cement sand ratio of 1:2 or 1:3. 6 mm diameter bars are also used at large spacing, preferably in the corners. Sand may be replaced by baby jelly. The water cement ratio used is between 0.4 to 0.45. Ferro-cement reinforcement is assembled into its final desired shape and plastered directly. There is no need for form work. Minimum two layers of reinforcing steel meshes are required. According to American\u00a0 Concrete\u00a0 Institute\u00a0 \u201cFerro\u00a0 cement\u00a0 is\u00a0 a\u00a0 thin\u00a0 walled\u00a0 reinforced\u00a0 concrete\u00a0 construction\u00a0 where usually a hydraulic cement is reinforced with layers of continuous and relatively small diameter mesh.The mesh used may be metallic or any other suitable material.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferro-cement is fast emerging as an alternate material for timber. The history of ferro-cement goes back to 1843 (even before RCC). Joseph Louis Lambet constructed several rowing boats, plant plots\u00a0 and\u00a0 garden\u00a0 seats\u00a0 using\u00a0 ferro-cement.\u00a0 In\u00a0 early\u00a0 1940\u2019s\u00a0 noted\u00a0 Italian\u00a0 engineer\u00a0 and\u00a0 architect\u00a0 Pier Luigi Nervi carried out scientific tests on ferro-cement and used it to replace wood wherever possible.He\u00a0 built\u00a0 small\u00a0 tonnage\u00a0 vessels,\u00a0 the\u00a0 largest\u00a0 being\u00a0 165\u00a0 tons\u00a0 motor\u00a0 sailor.\u00a0 Nervi\u00a0 also\u00a0 pioneered\u00a0 the architectural use of ferro-cement in buildings. Ferro-cement can be given the finish of teak wood, rose wood etc. and even for making tables, chairs and benches it can be used.<\/p>\n

Properties of Ferro-cement<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Its strength per unit mass is high.<\/li>\n
  2. It has the capacity to resist shock laod.<\/li>\n
  3. It can be given attractive finish like that of teak and rose wood.<\/li>\n
  4. Ferro cement elements can be constructed without using form work.<\/li>\n
  5. It is impervious.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Uses of Ferro-cement<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It can be used for making:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Partition walls<\/li>\n
    2. Window frames, chejjas and drops<\/li>\n
    3. Shelf of cupboards<\/li>\n
    4. Door and window shutters<\/li>\n
    5. Domestic water tanks<\/li>\n
    6. Precast roof elements<\/li>\n
    7. Reapers and raffers required for supporting roof tiles.<\/li>\n
    8. Pipes<\/li>\n
    9. Silos<\/li>\n
    10. Furnitures<\/li>\n
    11. Manhole covers<\/li>\n
    12. Boats.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
