This paper presents the results of a research work to develop ferrocement sandwich and hollow core panels for use as precast one way slab elements. Sandwich panels consisted of two thin ferrocement layers reinforced with steel wire mesh and a core of autoclaved aerated lightweight concrete bricks. The hollow core panels are made of the same ferrocement mortar matrix with three circular holes of 75 mm diameter running along the length of the specimen. A total of 15 sandwich panels and 12 hollow core panels were cast and tested under flexural loadings. The experimental results showed that high ultimate and service loads, crack resistance control, high ductility, and good energy absorption could be achieved by using the proposed panels. A theoretical model based on the ultimate strength method for reinforced concrete was developed to determine the ultimate moment and mode of failure of the panels. The theoretical and experimental results showed good agreement.

High Frequency Induction

Induction heating method is a well known process to produce heat in a localized area on a susceptible metallic object. High frequency power, a work coil and an ancillary instrument part is the basis of induction heating. It is used in industrial and domestic areas where uniform and rapid heating is absolutely essential. As it is highly needed, in this research work, the effectiveness of induction heating will be verified by different curing methods. Firstly to initiate the asphalt concrete curing by high frequency induction heating so that the concrete become durable, electrically conductive and appropriately adjusted for induction heating, steel wire mesh / GI wire mesh is employed which is a good conductor of electricity. Now when micro cracks are likely to occur in asphalt product, the temperature of the asphalt material can be made high by induction heating of the steel wire mesh / GI wire mesh due to which the micro cracks are repaired itself and cracks are repaired by the increased temperature curing of bitumen by the physical process of diffusion and flow of the material. Consequent upon the repair, pre repair of small cracks, major cracks fail to occur protecting the road and thus ravelling of the road prevented to a great extent.

A facile method for manufacturing super hydrophobic surfaces is presented using the stainless steel wire mesh as templates. The rough surfaces of polymers including polycarbonate, polypropylene and PMMA are prepared with hot embossing on different specifications of stainless steel wire mesh. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal that the surfaces roughness of the polymers can be controlled by selecting templates. Contact angle measurement shows that the water contact angles(WCA) rise with the increase of surface roughness, especially, the water contact angle on the PC surfaces prepared with specifications of 635mesh screen can reach to 152.3°, alias super hydrophobic surfaces.

This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation carried out on reinforced mortar plates. Reinforced mortar plates are often applied for shear reinforcement of wall panels. Different reinforcement materials have been embedded into the mortar plates: GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers) grids, fiberglass fabrics and welded steel-wire meshes. This is the first stage in the development of a new type of GFRP-reinforced mortar jacketing, that will provide a solution to enhance the lateral capacity of historic buildings. Such reinforced plates can also be used in applications on new masonry constructions where buildings with damaged or cracked wall panels need to be repaired or retrofitted. The mortar plates were built from commercially available GFRP grids and fabrics that were embedded into the mortar to form a reinforced-mortar square structure of 1 m with a thickness of 30 mm. The plates were tested in the laboratory, under quasi-static patch loads that exceeded the expected seismic loads. The goal of the testing program was to assess the design and construction techniques used, with a view to designing the reinforcement of a historic building. The laboratory tests demonstrated that the GFRP-reinforced plates had sufficient stiffness and strength to function effectively. By comparing the results with the more traditional steel-wire mesh reinforcement, it was also possible to perform a comparative analysis.
