Impact Strength of Ferrocement Panel under Low Velocity Impact Loading

The capability to absorb energy, often called as toughness, is of importance in actual service conditions mesh reinforced composites, when they may be subjected static, dynamic and fatigue loads. Toughness evaluated under impact loads the strength. toughness materials are determined by two methods, (i) measuring deformation load, (ii) determining energy adsorption capacity load. Several methods were used investigate materials. In this research work, drop weight test used. present experimental work describes testing flat ferrocement panels with different number layer steel well enhancement fiber. main purpose study effect using wire on flexural strength also varying thickness absorption panels. includes preparation welded square mesh, woven without hooked fibers sizes prepared tested for point loading testing. It expected that layers will increased panel should its seen addition fibers.
