Abstract
The flexural rigidity and deflection characteristics of ferrocement 'flanged' beams (I-beams and hollow box-beams) are presented. The study considers the following parameters: shape of cross section (I- and box-beams); number of wire mesh layers in flanges and web(s); effect of skeletal steel; and beam length. Mathematical methods to predict flexural rigidities and deflections of ferrocement 'flanged' beams at service load level are also presented. The ACI and CEB methods for deflection calculations are used to predict the deflection of ferrocement 'flanged' beams.
