INVESTIGATION OF VERSATILITY OF THEORETICAL PREDICTION MODELS FOR PLAIN CONCRETE CONFINED WITH FERROCEMENT

The paper presents a short investigation of theoretical prediction models for plain concrete confined with Ferrocement. Although to date scant experimental data is available for a conclusive recommendation, however, ample evidence of the versatility of the model proposed by Waliuddin and Rafeeqi [36] has been provided in this paper. The proposed model possess the capability of predicting strength of plain concrete, confined with Ferrocement for almost all the possible and practical methods of confinement by way of; integrally cast mesh layer, mesh layers in precast shell and wrapped mesh layer on precast core.
