Abstract

Socio-economic factors have always influenced construction practices. Man has invariably attempted to compose materials that are not only cheap and easy to employ, but also strong and durable. In the last century cementitious composite has been the choice of the constructions industry across the globe owing to its low cost, easy to mould into typical shapes and high durability. Reinforced cement concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, polymer concrete etc. are to name a few. One such material is ferrocement having light weight and extremely high load resisting capacity. This paper provides a hands-on insight into this emerging construction material.
