Ferrocement is used for serving various purposes because of its advantageous properties like light weight, less crack & cost effectiveness. Ferrocement is made with reference to ACI 549, 1997 and ACI 318,2008. Ferrocement has wide range of applications and is widely used in developed countries and its u se is also increasing in developing countries like India, China etc. Ferrocement is slightly different due to absence of course aggregates while addition of special type of Chicken Mesh as well as polypropylene fibers in certain proportions. When all such components are combined they provide good results as compared to ordinary concrete structures constructed now-a-days. In this paper, strengths of concrete and ferrocement cubes are being studied. Keywords: Ferro-cement, flooring, roofing, boats, water tanks.
