According to ACI (American concrete Institute), Ferrocement is a type of thin wall reinforced concrete commonly constructed of hydraulic cement mortar reinforced with closely spaced layers of continuous and relatively small size wire mesh. The mesh may be made of metallic or other suitable materials. Ferrocement differs from conventional concrete in that there is a higher ratio of steel to cement mortar. Ferrocement has many properties of steel and yet it will not rust. Although it looks and feels like concrete it can flex without cracking. By altering the steel/cement ratio we actually produce a material, which is superior to either steel or cement seperately. History of ferro-cement In 1940s, an Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi tested and presented in his paper, a new structural elements, an extremely thin plate of concrete made layers of small diameter wire mess and cement mortar with sand is used. In 1980, ACI gives standards of use and mixes of ferro-cement. Prope
