Abstract:Ferrocement is one of the recent methods for repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete members. It can be described as a type of thin composite material made of cement mortar reinforced with wire meshes. The wire meshes are uniformly distributed in continuous layers with relatively small diameters. In this research, an experimental test program consists of eleven RC slab specimens repaired and strengthened by ferrocement layers reinforced by traditional steel reinforcement and steel wire meshes as well a… Show more
