| Abstract | This research work studied the development of ferrocement panels subjected to blast load by considering the strength, weight, cost, and ease of constructability. Five groups of ferrocement panels were designed and tested under blast loading in the field. One and Six of 80 x 160 cm. conventional ferrocement panel without skeleton steel and Sandwich ferrocement panels that have different types of core are Pyramid and Spring were designed and tested as a preliminary study respectively. Eight conventional ferrocement panels with skeleton steel at the same dimensions with variations of thickness and difference layers of hexagonal wire mesh were designed and tested. Moreover, One group of conventional brick wall was conducted for comparison the damages with ferrocement wall panels. The test results indicated that preliminary ferrocement panels could resist the designed blast load. The sandwich panels with pyramid truss structure were damaged locally while those with spring structure were damaged globally because of its ability to distribute the pressure from blast load. By considering the overall performance in terms of strength, weight and cost, the sandwich panels with pyramid truss structure were superior to those with spring structure and using the comparative result, the moment capacity indexes were proposed for efficiency design |
