| Abstract | This study is an extension of the earlier investigation conducted
by Raisinghani (6) to predict the mechanical properties of ferro-cement for use in design. In this investigation ferro-cement is treated as a homogeneous composite material and its properties in bending, torsion,
tension and compression are determined from the laws of mixture. In bending and torsion, ferro-cement is idealized as a tri-linear material to describe its behavior in the uncracked, cracked and yield range.
Explicit expressions, slightly different from those of Raisinghani (6), are also derived for its moduli and rigidities in bending, torsion and its Poisson\'r ratio. The ultimate resistance of ferro-cement in bending, torsion, tension and compression are discussed. Further experiments
were conducted to supplement the data obtained by Raisinghani (6). Specimens with different layers of wire mesh were tested in torsion and
the results obtained are shown to be in good agreement with theoretically predicted values. |
