Abstract:
Ferrocement is a kind of composite material where the filler material, usually
brittle in nature, called matrix is reinforced with fibers dispersed throughout the
composite resulting in better structural performances than that of individual one. The
use of fibers to reinforce a brittle a brittle matrix is not really new idea. The ancient
use of straw in bricks and hair in mortar can be said to predate the use of
conventional Portland cement concrete. But the very name Ferrocement implies the
combination of ferrous product with cement
