| Abstract | Ferrocement water storage tanks have been found to be safe, economic and easy to construct and maintain even in very difficult remote areas. Various site and problem specific construction techniques have been developed by various R&D groups for making ferrocement tanks of small and medium capacities. A few of these techniques are presented. Three casting methods developed at SERC in India have become very popular among field engineers / contractors and are being used on large scale in actual field projects and the structures constructed are performing very well |
