FAOFERRS - a computer program for the analysis of ferrocement in flexure

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review and compare various analytical procedures which have been developed to predict the ultimate moment of ferrocement under flexure. One such procedure has been used as the basis of the computer program FAOFERRS, which has then been used to compare predictions with experimental results for specimens having various mesh arrangements. An attempt is made to predict the ultimate moment for specimens reported by other investigators and the results are compared and discussed.
