A ferrocement box beam derives its flexural strength from interaction of the steel (wire mesh), acting in tension and concrete in compression with a moment capacity depending on depth of flange c/s and it also derives its flexural rigidity from structural form of c/s. Even though the thickness of ferrocement section is very small, choosing proper shapes of c/s the flexural rigidity of the section can be increased. Unlike studies on the behavior of ferrocement elements under flexure, very limited research is available on the behavior of compound structural section like I, C, T and L, etc., space in general and core ferrocement compound sections in particular. Hence in the present investigation, 9 ferrocement Cross beams of size 150mmx150mmx1000mm long span Filled with M25 grade of Concrete with Varying Diametere of Fy 500D TMT bar are chosen to study the behavior of ferrocement by Experimental and Analytical method for constant application of loading which will be further validate performing FEM Analysis using Ansys software.
