EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF ALUMINUM MOSQUITO SHEET ON CONCRETE CANVAS PANELS

Concrete is the most commonly used construction material which is used in today's rapidly developing construction field. There are so many advantages and benefits carried by concrete but while we are talking about flexibility property then we found many difficulties as concrete restricts its boundaries in flexibility. So, to overcome these complications and problems, a newly introduced flexible construction material called Concrete Canvas (CC) has been developed. This article describes the major facets of activities, performances as well as preparation of Concrete Canvas with the help of the locally available materials. This paper also represents the study of the experiment conducted to improve the flexural strength of Concrete Canvas panel through the engagement of an additional aluminum mosquito sheet. The flexural performance of Aluminum reinforced Concrete Canvas panels are examined through a three-point flexural (bending) test. The results exhibit from the experiment that the flexural performance of Concrete Canvas is significantly improved by reinforcing the CC panels with aluminum mosquito sheet.
