Shear strength of ternary blended ferrocement plates reinforced with welded wire mesh - Vol.96(10), Oct - Mumbai ACC LTD 2022 - 18-25p.
The shear study of reinforced ternary blended ferrocement was investigated by conducting flexural tests on simply supported rectangular plates underneath two symmetrical point loads. The essential variables were shear span-to-depth (a/d) ratio varying from 1 to 6, volume fraction reinforcement Vf, and quantity of reinforcement close to the compression face. Test results indicated that the diagonal cracking strength of ferrocement increases as the a/d ratio decreases, and Vf, close to the compression face was increased. An empirical equation for predicting diagonal cracking strength was proposed for the ferrocement elements that are prone to shear failure at small a/d ratios with high Vf.
