Ferrocement in recreational and public health development

Ferrocement has the versatility such that can be 'sculptured' or shaped into numerous fascinating structures and objects for very wide applications. It normally composes of steel meshes and bars embedded within the matrix of cement mortar. It also has the ability to be combined with other...
