“…Aerated slurry-infiltrated chicken mesh ferrocement exhibits ductile failure which can be used as a building construction material. eoretical model developed confirms the experimental results [12]. Ferrocement containing perlite light weight aggregate (LWA) indicates flexural behaviour of light weight ferrocement increases with number of expanded rib lath layers [13].…”

Bending tests were conducted on ferrocement laminates containing chicken mesh and steel slag. The fundamental goal of the examination was to investigate the effects of partial substitution of fine aggregate by steel slag in cement mortar combining chicken mesh of different volume fractions as reinforcement in thin ferrocement laminates. The following variables were investigated: (a) volume fraction of chicken mesh as 0.94%, 1.88%, 2.82%, and 3.77% and (b) level of steel slag substitution from 0% to 50% by weight fine aggregate. Results show that ferrocement laminates with chicken mesh of volume fractions of 3.77% and 30% substitution of fine aggregate with steel slag display better performance in terms of load deflection behaviour, first crack load, ultimate load, energy absorption, and ductility ratio when related with other specimens. An analytical model has been proposed to predict the ultimate moment carrying capacity of ferrocement laminates under flexure to validate the experimental results.

“…Aerated cementitious materials (e.g., aerated concrete) have been developed mostly to provide thermal insulation qualities [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. This work focused on the development of aerated slurries with a relatively low density and modulus and viable strength for use as matrix in structural composites as investigated in our previous studies [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. This aerated slurry-infiltrated mesh is developed as a construction material that offers qualities intermediate between wood and concrete.…”

Cementitious composites, including ferrocement and continuous fiber reinforced cement, are increasingly considered for building construction and repair. One alternative in processing of these composites is to infiltrate the reinforcement (continuous fibers or chicken mesh) with a flowable cementitious slurry. The relatively high density of cementitious binders, when compared with polymeric binders, are a setback in efforts to introduce cementitious composites as lower-cost, fire-resistant, and durable alternatives to polymer composites. Aeration of the slurry is an effective means of reducing the density of cementitious composites. This approach, however, compromises the mechanical properties of cementitious binders. An experimental program was undertaken in order to assess the potential for production of aerated slurry with a desired balance of density, mechanical performance, and barrier qualities. The potential for nondestructive monitoring of strength development in aerated cementitious slurry was also investigated. This research produced aerated slurries with densities as low as 0.9 g/cm3 with viable mechanical and barrier qualities for production of composites. The microstructure of these composites was also investigated.
