The combined effect of conventional reinforced concrete beams that are encased with a thin layer of ferrocement on the impact resistance concrete

Abstract

The present research deals with the effect for each number of layers to net the steel beams on the ferrocement layer considering the thickness of layer , strength of mix and distributed of steel. It found the strength of impact for combined beams greats than the base beams and number of layers effect clearly on the strength of impact, also the increase in thickness can increase resistance and there is an optimum of wire mish layer for ferrocement to increase the impact resistance.
