Abstract

This paper presents the results of a research work to develop ferrocement sandwich and hollow core panels for use as precast one way slab elements. Sandwich panels consisted of two thin ferrocement layers reinforced with steel wire mesh and a core of autoclaved aerated lightweight concrete bricks. The hollow core panels are made of the same ferrocement mortar matrix with three circular holes of 75 mm diameter running along the length of the specimen. A total of 15 sandwich panels and 12 hollow core panels were cast and tested under flexural loadings. The experimental results showed that high ultimate and service loads, crack resistance control, high ductility, and good energy absorption could be achieved by using the proposed panels. A theoretical model based on the ultimate strength method for reinforced concrete was developed to determine the ultimate moment and mode of failure of the panels. The theoretical and experimental results showed good agreement.
