WHAT IS FERRO CEMENT ? ADMIXTURE ADVANTAGES


In the 1940s the Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi revived the concept of Ferro cement and he used it for building the fishing boats. In the RCC constructions, The concrete produced with a material having a homogeneous properties. 

The homogeneous mixture is capable of resisting the high impacts. He showed that the process of this cement, exceptional elasticity, Strength, Flexibility and resisting cracks properties. The Ferro cement definition was first published by ACI 549 in year 1880s.

ADMIXTURES: 
1: Plasticizer 
2: Air entertainment 
3: Water reducing agent, etc. The 6 to 8 mm road of steel was used in Ferro-Cement. Mix Proportion 1:5 or 2:5 water cement ratio 0.35 to 0.6 

ADVANTAGES: 
1: Good Fire resistance 
2: Improved impact resistance 
3: High ductility 
4: Good tensile properties 
5: Good impermeability 
6: Ability to undergo large deflection.
