It's a lightweight construction material made up of tiny portions of cement mortar strengthened by many layers of steel wire mesh positioned closely together. Ferro-cement is widely used in the building sector due to its low self-weight, lack of trained labour, and lack of formwork. Ferro-cement is commonly used in structural repair, strengthening, and retrofitting. Hexagonal wire meshes, welded wire meshes, woven wire meshes, expanded metal meshes, and three-dimensional meshes are all employed in Ferro-cement. A multi-layered chicken wire construction can be used to create the desired shape, which can then be reinforced with steel wire or steel bars if necessary. A suitable mixture of cement, sand, and water is spread over the completed framework. The Ferro-cement is kept moist throughout hardening to ensure that it sets and hardens properly. In comparison to R.C.C., the quantity of Ferro-cement used in building construction is substantially less. As a result, using ferrocement wall we can save 16% in cost compared with conventional brick wall and 30% of cost reduction using ferrocement roofing over RCC flat roof slab.
