Thermal Conductivity Of Fibre Filled With Ferrocement Sandwich Panels

ABSTRACT This study reviews the construction process of Ferrocement sandwich panels as non-load bearing units of buildings. The castin- situ construction process, on a small scale pilot project including materials and the steps of workmanship will be explored in this paper. The sandwich panels consisted of two thin Ferro cement layers reinforced with palm and sugarcane fibre. Steel wires were used to tie the two layers of iron meshes together. A total of 1m2 sandwich panel was casted. The proposed panels are lighter in weight relative to the conventional brick walls. This kind of lightweight construction process would lead the construction industries for having a green and earthquake resilient environment. Two Different Layers will be used in our project the one was Palm fibre with ferrocement panel and sugarcane fibre With Ferrocement Panel of 150mm Thickness. In this study thermal conductivity measures used by the sandwich panels, the temperature will be noted by every 30mins intervel.
