Abstract:
In China, ferrocement has been used for many years in bridge construction. Examples of such applications include two-way curved shallow shells, two-way curved shells for formwork, where stones are incorporated in the construction of two-way composite arches, thin-walled slabs for box beams, stiffeners for box girders in long-span suspension bridges, floating thin-walled caissons for bridge piers, and protective tubes for piles.
