For any construction material, one of the crucial parameters considered during design is flexural and impact strength. This study’s objective was to look at how ribbed ferrocement panels behave when subjected to flexural and impact loads. The goal of this work was to determine how panel thickness and volume proportion of mesh affect the flexural and impact strength of ribbed ferrocement panels through an experimental and analytical programme. The experimental work consists of the preparation of ferrocement panels with 20mm, 30mm, and 40 mm thicknesses. For the preparation of the specimens, a matrix with a strength of 40 MPa and a mix proportion of cement and sand was 1:1.75 with a water-cement ratio of 0.40 was utilized. The specimens were reinforced with welded square wire mesh for a volume proportion of mesh between 1.5% to 2% for different sizes. These specimens were tested under two-point flexural loading and drop-weigh...

Ferrocement panel and LGS is connected with self-tapping screw at different spacing. 3 different spacing of 125mm, 150mm and 250mm screw connection is analyzed under flexural loading to understand the deflection behavior and moment capacity of section. Experimental study & research determine the result in terms of loadcarrying capacity, central deflection, bending moment capacity, Load vs Deflection curve and failure pattern. These results will be compared with each other. Expectation from this research is that this research will be used as guidance for future research on composite system for building construction.

In this case study the main aim is to study flexural behavior of ferrocement by replacing cement content by 5%. In this study, 40 cubes were tested to get desirable compression strength results and engineering properties input data. Various test specimens in the form of ferrocement plate of sizes (400x200x15) mm, (500x200x20) mm, (600x200x25) mm, (800x200x30) mm and tested analytically with three-point loading with linearly varying load. Equivalent stress and deflection are the main parameters of this study. From the results, it can be concluded that 5%replacement of marble powder and increasing number of layers has proven to be good at increasing strength and reducing deflections.

Ferrocement is the one of the relatively new cementitious composite considered as a construction material. The main aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of Ferrocement panel under low velocity impact. Size of panel is 250 x 250 mm and thickness is varying from 20mm to 40mm. Corrugated fibers were added in panels. Volume of corrugated fibers was considered as 1.5% of total volume of panel. Weld mesh and woven mesh were used in ferrocement panels. Numbers of layers of mesh were 2 and 3. Height of drop is 1m. M30 and M40 Grade of mortar were used. Equivalent stress, Normal stress and Deformation were the main parameters for this research work. From the results it can be concluded that weld mesh with corrugated fibers is good at the impact resistance.

Toughness evaluated under impact loads is the impact strength. The toughness of materials are determined by two methods, (i) by measuring deformation under impact load, (ii) by determining energy adsorption capacity of materials under impact load. Several methods were used to investigate to determining toughness of materials. In this research work, drop weight impact test were used. The present experimental work describes testing of flat ferrocement panels with different number of layer steel mesh as well as enhancement of panels with steel fiber. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using different number of wire mesh layer on the flexural strength and impact strength and also effect of varying thickness of panels on the energy absorption of ferrocement pane...

To evaluate the durability criteria for the specimen, a series of cubes and cylinders were cast in this experiment using a mortar mix at a ratio of 1:3 and a water-cement ratio of 0.40 was selected. In this study, the ability of the ferrocement to endure water penetration, sorptivity, and resistance to sulphates were examined. The curing period was chosen to be 28, 56, and 90 days, respectively, in order to track changes in the outcome and investigate the effects of the various curing times on the ferrocement. In order to measure the rate of water absorption by capillarity rise, Sorptivity test was conducted in accordance with ASTM C1585-04. The average absorption rate at day 9 was found to be 84.87 x 10-7 mm/s1/2, 93.78 x10-7mm/s1/2, and 96.34x10-7 mm/s1/2 for 28, 56, and 90 days of curing respectively. The Sulphate attack te...

imperative to access these techniques on the basis of sustainability parameters. The advanced construction management concept
such as fast track construction is being implemented in real estate industry with special focus on lean management. Ferro-cement
panels, gypsum sheets, etc. are some of the precast members in construction which reduce the scheduled duration of the
convectional project. It also significantly decreases the dead load of the structure. India’s focus on Sustainable Development goals
has also conceptualized affordable housing as one of the methods to achieve it. The alternative for the conventional method of
building houses is the use of ferrocement as it is cost effective. As the cost of constructing houses will reduce, the poor people living
in slums area will afford to live in a hygienic place. This paper tries to analyze the two trending panel techniques namely: Gypsum &

The system he laid down for taxation, district supervisors, and law enforcement officers were the best examples of the era. Bapuji Mudgal was one of the best commanders who ruled the central part of Maharashtra near Pune city. The ancient documents of administration are written in Modi script, showcasing the administrative functioning of the Maratha empire. These documents can be good reference for researchers for study based on Historical reigns of kingdoms.
