Abstract An experimental investigation was conducted on sandwich light weight ferrocement one way slab specimens each of 1200 mm X 600 mm with varying parameters such as slab thickness (8 & 10 mm), number of layers of steel mesh, interface surface condition between layers, and concrete mix. All the slabs were tested under the effect of one line load acts at mid span. The results were investigated in order to discuss the effect of different parameters on cracking propagation, cracking pattern, ultimate deflection, and ultimate failure load. The conclusion of this research may be useful to find solutions for new design techniques and method of constructions |
