Direct Tension Test on Expanded Metal Mesh and Welded Square Mesh for Ferrocement Composite

Ferrocement is a special type of mortar which is usually reinforced with steel wires which can perform very well as far as crack control, impact resistance and toughnes is concern. Ferrocement has very high tensile strength to weight ratio. This project presents an experimental study on Tensile strength of different wire meshes which normally used now a days. The main objective of these experimental tests is to study the effect of using different types as well as different number of wire meshes. Test result shows that elongation of Expanded wire mesh is quite high than Welded Square Mesh.
