COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FERROCEMENT PANEL WITH FLYASH BY COMBINATION OF BAMBOO AND STEEL MESH

Civil Engineering

Everyone has the dream of making house in their life but nowadays it is seen that cost of construction material is increased to a large extent hence increasing cost of construction. To reduce cost of project there is need to develop low cost housing .The main constitute materials in construction are steel (M.S, HYSD bars) and cement. In rural area bamboo is available easily and more than 88 million tons of fly ash is generated in India each year. So, after using these two materials as replacement by steel and cement, the aim of low housing can be achieved to some extent. This experimental program consists of construction of 18 panels of size 490*230*100.Along with each 3 panel for 5%,10%,15% respectively replacement of cement with flash in bamboo mesh and each 3 panel for 5%,10%,15% respectively replacement of cement by fly ash in steel mesh. The panels are cast, cured in water tank for 28 days then tested under uniformly distributed loading. Comparative results of both the panels are obtained .The results show that experimental failure load for both panels found are in similar range and are in good agreement with observed values of the load.
