Abstract
Ferrocement is ideally suited for thin structural elements because of the uniform distribution and dispersion of reinforcement, which provides higher durability, tensile strength and tensile ductility. The aim of this research paper is to study the advanced interaction of high tensile performance of thin plate composites ferrocement-grouted mortar. The present paper deals with the effectiveness numbers of ferrocement wire mesh reinforcement layers as a low and high percentage of ferrocement reinforcement of thin plate grouted mortar specimens on the tensile loaddeformation behavior, crack width/spacing, the first crack tensile load, ultimate tensile load and tensile strain capacity. The results clarify that the use of ferrocement wire mesh reinforcement layers with the grouted mortar considerably improves the service and ultimate tensile crack behavior of the thin plate composites, irrespective of the number of ferrocement wire mesh reinforcement layers used. Thus, the ferrocement-grouted mortar composites is considered as a promising material solution to the global structure deterioration problem and tensile ductility are the most important properties of this type of material
