Description
Versatile construction materials are under development where readily available raw materials (soils) and indigenous construction materials are blended to produce high-performance hydraulic cements. Abundant natural fabrics are used as reinforcement to produce indigenous ferrocements. Natural foaming agents are also used to produce indigenous aerated concrete. Sandwich composites comprising indigenous ferrocement skins and aerated concrete cores are designed as efficient and lightweight structural components for construction of safe, serviceable, energy-efficient and economical building systems.
