[Sr No] 5 [FERROCEMENT WATER TOWER] The surface of beams, columns, floors, have wire mesh reinforcement layers immediately below, by about 5mm.The wire mesh reinforcement is of small dia and at close spacing. Therefore it resists crack formation very efficiently. There are at least two layers of wire mesh. [RCC WATER TOWER] There is no such arrangement in the case of RCC frame. RCC sections generally being cracked are vulnerable to atmospheric polluted gases entry. Therefore more prone to early deteriorations of reinforcements and spalling of concrete. [Comparison]
