NOVEL APPLICATIONS OF FERROCEMENT IN FAST TRACK CONSTRUCTION

   
   
 
 

A large pyramid shaped Auditorium

Ferrocement is a highly impermeable skin. In the application of a semicircular dome and a large Pyramid shaped Auditorium, it has been used in place of RCC skin.

For applications like these, conventional RCC would require both side shuttering, hardly any multiple usage, would require larger mass of concrete and would be more expensive and time consuming than Ferrocement.

In case of dome the mortaring has been done simultaneously from inside and outside.

In case of pyramid, formwork in the form of wooden panels was fixed for 24 hours from inside and mortaring was done from outside.

The Pyramid skin was done in about 2 months.
