Ferrocement fc is a form of thin shell construction that uses standard portland cement usually mixed with plaster sand.
Ferrocement shell roof.
Ferrocement is used to construct relatively thin hard strong surfaces and structures in many shapes such as hulls for boats shell roofs and water tanks.
Ferrocement channel roof provides light weight roofing 60 reduction in dead weight as compare to rcc pre casting of roof leads to substantial reduction in construction time.
Ferro cement is a very good fire resistant material having capacity to resist fire up to 750 c for long period of 48 hours and even more.
The barrel vault is the simplest form of a vault.
The computational design process consists of an integrated parametric model used for multi objective.
These shell units are cast either manually on a masonry mould or mechanically on steel moulds.
Unlike ac sheet metal frp roof all the ferrocement panels are joined monolithically.
Compared to traditional construction the cement is reinforced with more steel or fiber at a closer spacing.
Ferrocement originated in the 1840s in france and the netherlands and is the origin of reinforced concrete.
Reduced spacing yields uniform force dispersion and increases strength.
The dwelling constructed of undulating brickwork is.
Mmt ferrocement shells these wafer like structures are steel reinforced arched shells with effective thickness of 2 5cm and they take equal load of respective r c c slabs.
Therefore ferrocement buildings are.
Ferro cement buildings are better pollution and fire resistant as compared to rcc.
Ferro cement can be modified to resist even high temperatures say 1200 c to 1500 c.
