Ferro Cement as a Cost Effective Alternative to RCC

Concrete and steel are the basic construction materials, which are being used with different concepts for construction such as RCC, Pre stressed and Ferro cement. Ferro cement is an innovative technology and has several advantages. This paper is an attempt to promote extensive use of Ferro cement components as an alternative to conventional concrete components for application in lowrise housing by doing a comparative study of cost analysis of Ferro cement and RCC.
