Can anyone help in designing of beams, slabs and columns using permanent shuttering or refer me to literature regarding the same? Thanks in advance.
Hi Mr. Ganbavale
You can think about ferrocement as a permanent shuttering for beam/column. You may have a look into the following published papers:
1. Fahmy et al. (2014). Applying the Ferrocement Concept in Construction of Concrete Beams Incorporating Reinforced Mortar Permanent Forms. International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials. Vol.8, No.1, pp.83–97
2. Kadir et al. (1991) Flexural behavior of composite beam with ferrocement permanent formwork. In: Seminar Kebangsaan Menilai Pencapaian Penyelidikan IRPA Dalam Rancangan Malaysia ke-5 Sektor Perindustrian (20-24 Disember 1991).
3. Spanos et al. (2012). Material and structural implications of using ferrocement as permanent formwork. The Indian Concrete Journal. Vol 8, pp. 9-23.
4. Tawab et al. (2012). Use of permanent ferrocement forms for concrete beam construction. Materials and Structures. vol 45, no. 9, pp 1319-1329.
Thank you sir. It's helping me in various aspects of designing. Still, If you will find more related work, please attach.
