Impact of Advanced Fiber Reinforcement on the Mechanical Properties of Ferro-cement: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract Ferro cement is a composite material composed of cement, sand, and layers of mesh reinforcement. It bears similarities to reinforced cement concrete (RCC), yet differs significantly in its structural application and construction techniques. Ferro cement is particularly effective in building thin-walled structures and is commonly used for repair works due to its flexibility and durability. Despite its potential, fibrocement has not been widely adopted across the country, primarily due to the lack of standardized design guidelines and codebooks. As a result, it remains an underutilized and developing material in civil engineering. However, it has demonstrated promise as a cost-effective and reliable method for strengthening concrete structures in various industrial applications. Ferro cement components are often employed as wall panels, partition units, and fire-resistant structural elements. This paper presents a review of past research and current experimental studies, highlighting the key features, structural properties, and innovative construction techniques associated with Ferro cement. The study emphasizes the importance of Ferro cement in applications such as thin walls, swimming pools, and water tanks, aiming to overcome existing challenges in its construction methodology and expand its use in modern engineering.
Keywords : Ferro cement, reinforced cement concrete (RCC), plain cement concrete (PCC), thin-walled structures, mesh reinforcement.
