Description

This report and ACI publication SP-61, Ferrocement Materials and Application , provide technical information on the mechanical properties, performance, and applications of ferrocement. The intent of this report is to promote the more effective use of ferrocement as a construction material for terrestrial structures in contrast to marine structures, where it has been so far most widely used.

Keywords: composite materials; compressive strength; construction materials; crack width and spacing; fatigue (materials); ferrocement; fibers; flexural strength; impact; mechanical properties; reinforced concrete; tension; welded wire fabric.
