Fatigue strength of ferrocement plates reinforced with three different types of wire meshes, viz;chicken wire mesh, welded square mesh and expanded metal were studied experimentally by generating S-N curves. The results show that fatigue strength of ferrocement is dependent on the fatigue properties of the reinforcement. Among the three wire meshes used, chicken wire mesh imparted greater fatigue strength over the square welded mesh and expanded metal.
