EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON FERRO CEMENT COLUMNS UNDER STATIC LOADING

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to study the ultimate load carrying capacity of Ferro cement columns. The strength of mortar plays a vital role in affecting the performance of specimens. In this experimental work four columns were casted and tested in a column testing machine under axial loading. The results of solid Ferro cement column and hollow Ferro cement column were compared with the conventional RCC column, and it is evident that the ultimate strengths of solid Ferro cement column and Hollow Ferro cement column were increased up to 6.6% and 13.3%.
