Abstract
In recent years, a great deal of interest has been created regarding the use of ferrocement in constructing roofs for new buildings and utilizing this material in the repair of existing structures. In order to get the benefits of ferrocement (e.g. low cost), accurate methods of analysis and design have to be used. Finite strip method appears to have great potential in predicting the static response of the composite (multi-layered) structural elements. Application of a high precision finite strip modeling in the analysis of ferrocement shell roof structures is investigated in this paper. Comparison with experimental results from other publications is included.
