| Summary: | This paper discusses the durability study of polymer-modified ferrocement in
comparison with conventional ferrocement particularly when exposed to severe
environmental conditions. The development of strength, deformability and fracture properties
were slightly different from conventional ferrocement. Test result indicates a significant
improvement in reducing and bridging micro cracks, especially in the prepeak load region.
Fracture toughness and deformability increased significantly. However, the post peak
behaviour was quite similar to conventional ferrocement. |
