Abstract: The research paper present the experimental work carried out to investigate the behavior of different shaped ferrocement roof panels. The total twelve ferrocement self compacting flat and V shaped folded roof panels with different number of wire meshes were casted and tested under two point loading. The number of wire meshes varied from 1 and 2 layers. Effect of these varying number of wire mesh layers on flexural strengths and deflection of Flat and V shaped folded roof panels are studied. And it is proved that the load carrying capacity of V shaped folded roof panel is found more with reduced deflection.
