Description

Covering the latest developments in ferrocement, this volume is a wide ranging overview of this versatile construction material, with 44 contributions from 16 countries. Its main themes are: ability, durability, habitation and rehabilitation. The variety of uses and applications of ferrocement belie its basic simplicity. As well as its use in developing countries for water tanks, silos, irrigation channels, boats and housing, it has the potential for wider use throughout the world in many types of structure, as permanent formwork, for repairing existing structures and in high performance cladding and building elements.
