Ferrocement construction combines the tensile strength of steel with the compressive strength of concrete in a relatively thin, lightweight shell made by applying a rich mortar of portland cement and sand to a wire-mesh frame. Taking the achievements of early European experimenters as his point of departure, the author quickly brings the story of ferrocement up to date and outlines the possibilities it presents today. The bulk of the book is then geared for the intrepid DIYer whether he has a backyard birdbath in mind or an entire living space wrought with his own hands.
