Ferrocement is a non-traditional type of construction system using mortar applied over a single or series of metalmesh. It is used to construct surfaces and structures consisting of small thicknesses for different shapes. An advantage offerrocement concrete structures is that they are stronger and more durable than some traditional building methods. Ferrocementstructures can be built quickly, which can provide a commercial advantage. Ferrocement is used often in India nowadays becausethe constructions made from it are more resistant to earthquakes. In this research, modelling of ferrocement panels for differentthicknesses i.e. 18mm and 25mm were done in a finite element software named ANSYS mechanical APDL. These 2 types of panelswere subjected to in-plane shear loads of 5000N, 8000N & 10000N each. The model was programmed by using different elementsand material models with different load variations for solving in-plane shear stresses

The concept of industrialization of the construction technology has emerged as well accepted and preferred option in the field of building construction now days in order to reduce in – situ construction up to maximum extent. Ferrocement is the one of the relatively new cementitious composite considered as a construction material. The main aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of Ferrocement panel under low velocity impact. Size of panel is 250 x 250 mm and thickness is varying from 20mm to 40mm. Corrugated fibers were added in panels. Volume of corrugated fibers was considered as 1.5% of total volume of panel. Weld mesh and woven mesh were used in ferrocement panels. Numbers of layers of mesh were 2 and 3. Height of drop is 1m. M30 and M40 Grade of mortar were used. Equivalent stress, Normal stress and Deformation were the main parameters for this research work. From the results it can be concluded that weld mesh with corrugated fibers is good at the impact resistance.
