Abstract
FERROCEMENT is not a new material. In 1850 Jean Louis Lambot took out a patent on FERCIMENT, and in 1930's Pier Luigi Nervi created FERROCEMENT.
In this report the structure (meshes, rods and mortar) and composition (diameter and widths of meshes and rods, water/cement ratio, aggregat e/ cement ratio) are described. The mechanical properties (tension, compression, bending, impact, fatigue and dynamic behaviour) are detailed treated. The problems about permeability, freezing/thawing and corrosion are mentioned. Some new experiments are deseribed in connection with the practical manufacturing of
FERROCEMENT. Fields of applications are commented.
