Fibre and Micro-Concrete Roofing Tiles: Production Process and Tile-Laying Techniques (Technology Series. Technical Memorandum, No. 16)

In developing countries building costs must be kept to a minimum by using appropriate materials and techniques. The fibre or micro-concrete tile is one such example. This memorandum gives detailed information for small and medium-scale contractors on the raw materials, equipment and production methods used, as well as a simplified way of estimating production costs. It also offers advice to planners on the socio-economic effects of adopting this technology.
