dc.description.abstract |
Mud concrete and fabric formwork are existing
technologies in construction industry which are gaining
importance with the drive towards a climate conscious
construction industry. The current work aims at combining
these two technologies toward developing an earthen slab
system. A preliminary study was done to assess the viability of
fabric formwork for mud-concrete casting and identify potential
challenges in developing such a technology. A series of tests were
done to identify the performance of commonly available grey
fabric ('amu redi') with changing unsupported span lengths of
fabric, thickness of overburden mud-concrete layers, and water
content of the mud-concrete wet mix. The experimental work
verified the viability of using commonly available fabric as
formwork for typical mud concrete mixes. The study showed an
upper bound on the thickness of the overburden mud concrete
layer beyond which the influence on the fabric, measured as the
maximum deflection, was negligible as arching effects transfers
the loads laterally. A peak water content at which the maximum
deflection of the fabric was the highest was observed. In
addition, the use of fabric formwork was observed to give a
smoother surface finish. |
