Fero Alter

Trapped air will leave voids that allow water to collect and degrade rust the steel. Modern practice often includes spraying the mixture at pressure a technique called shotcrete or some other method of driving out trapped air.

Older structures that have failed offer clues to better practices. In addition to eliminating air where it contacts steel, modern concrete additives may include acrylic liquid " admixtures " to slow moisture absorption and increase shock resistance to the hardened product or to alter curing rates.

These technologies, borrowed from the commercial tile installation trade, have greatly aided in the restoration of these structures.

Chopped fiber could inhibit good penetration of the grout to steel mesh constructions. This should be taken into consideration and mitigated, or limited to use on outer subsequent layers.

Chopped fibers may also alter or limit some wet sculpting techniques. The economic advantage of ferro concrete structures is that they are stronger and more durable than some traditional building methods.

In India , ferro concrete is used often because the constructions made from it are more resistant to earthquakes. In the s, designers adapted their yacht designs to the then very popular backyard building scheme of building a boat using ferrocement.

Its big attraction was that for minimum outlay and costs, a reasonable application of skill, an amateur could construct a smooth, strong and substantial yacht hull.

A ferro-cement hull can prove to be of similar or lower weight than a fiber reinforced plastic fiberglass , aluminum , or steel hull.

The advantages of a well built ferro concrete construction are the low weight, maintenance costs and long lifetime in comparison with purely steel constructions.

Especially with respect to the cementitious composition and the way in which it is applied in and on the framework, and how or if the framework has been treated to resist corrosion.

When a ferro concrete sheet is mechanically overloaded, it will tend to fold instead of break or crumble like stone or pottery.

As a container, it may fail and leak but possibly hold together. Much depends on techniques used in the construction. Using the example of the Mulberry Harbours, pre-fabricated units could be made for ports such as Jamestown on St Helena where conventional civil engineering is difficult.

The disadvantage of ferro concrete construction is the labor-intensive nature of it, which makes it expensive for industrial application in the western world.

In addition, threats to degradation rust of the steel components is a possibility if air voids are left in the original construction, due to too dry a mixture of the concrete being applied, or not forcing the air out of the structure while it is in its wet stage of construction, through vibration, pressurized spraying techniques, or other means.

These air voids can turn to pools of water as the cured material absorbs moisture. If the voids occur where there is untreated steel, the steel will rust and expand, causing the system to fail.

In modern practice, the advent of liquid acrylic additives and other advances to the grout mixture, create slower moisture absorption over the older formulas, and also increase bonding strength to mitigate these failures.

Restoration steps should include treatment to the steel to arrest rust, using practices for treating old steel common in auto body repair. During the s in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, home boatbuilders realised that, for a given budget, ferrocement enabled a much larger hull than otherwise.

However, some builders failed to realise that hull forms only a minor part of the overall cost because a larger boat would have very much higher fitting-out costs.

Consequently, several homebuilt ferrocement boats became unfinished projects, or if finished, then badly executed, overweight, lumpy "horrors".

Realising that their boats were not merely disappointing but also unsaleable, some builders insured their boats and deliberately scuppered them for compensation.

Insurance companies have long memories of such frauds, and today, even for well-built ferrocemment boats, it has become difficult to get insurance cover for third-party risks, while comprehensive cover is virtually unattainable.
