ACI 549.1R-18 Design Guide for Ferrocement is a technical document that aims to provide architects, engineers, and owners with comprehensive information on the use of ferrocement in terrestrial structures. The guide focuses on three main aspects: physical and mechanical properties, design criteria, and testing of ferrocement. By emphasizing these aspects, the document aims to facilitate the effective and appropriate use of ferrocement in various applications.

The primary objective of this guide is to promote the optimal utilization of ferrocement in construction projects. It provides architects and engineers with the necessary knowledge and tools to specify and incorporate ferrocement in their designs. Additionally, the document serves as a reference for owners or their representatives to evaluate the suitability of ferrocement as an alternative in specific applications.
