Overview

This book forms the Proceedings of the Second International RILEM Symposium on Vegetable Plants and their Fibres as Building Materials in Brazil, September 1990. The book examines the state-of-the-art on plants and fibres as building materials for low cost construction, emphasizing their use, properties, fabrication, new procedures and future developments. It makes available research results on new techniques for fibre reinforcement and their use in concrete, stabilized clay and other matrices, and analyses procedures for making vegetable fibres and wood-based building materials in developing countries. Shelter for millions in the developing world depends on being able to use indigeneous materials as building materials. This book presents new research information on successful developments and applications.
