A monopanel is the system building witch consists of two thin ferrocement
block as a faces and between them a bushy layer of low strength, density and cost as a
core made from lightweight material for example from polystyrene foam as using in
this investigation or any material as an insulation .
The simple structural idealization of a monopanel system is that the core
provides transverse trusses between the faces that prevent flexural ,shear force and
compression. Transverse trusses made of steel bars having a diameter of 3.2 mm, which
make available as tie reinforcement to prevent the thin ferrocement skins from local
buckling, have been used in the present work. These transfer system consist of two
longitudinal bars connected by inclined steel bar forming trusses shape making an angle
equals to 60 o with the longitudinal bars.
The main object of this research is to present an experimental investigation on
the behavior and load carrying capacity of monopanel beams. The experimental work
includes testing six groups of monopanel beams, and has been investigated the effect
of a different depths of monopanel beams and number of layer of wire mesh of skin
faces (one or two layers ) on the behavior and the ultimate load capacity. Also
comparison of these results with the ACI code 318M-08 formulations have been made.
