Abstract
An experimental investigation on the behaviour of ferrocement confined reinforced concrete (FCRC) under axial compression, by varying the sp ecific surface factor (Si) which controls the behaviour of ferrocement , is presented. A total of 270 prisms of size 150 x 150 x 300 mm were tested. The results indicated that additional confinement in the form of ferrocement shell improved the ultimate strength, strain at ultimat e strength and the ductility of concrete. The improvement is in propor tion to the S-f of the ferrocement shell for a given confinement index (C-i) of the lateral reinforcement.
