When professor Naaman first contacted me and asked me to post a review of his book on the ferrocement website I was intrigued . I went to the publisher’s website and read the existing reviews.

Phrases such as " the most comprehensive and authoritative treatment of the subject " and "indispensable book for engineers, architects, researchers, students and contractors interested in ferrocement" lead to a feeling of doubt that any one book could be this informative.

After reading the book I find that my doubts were groundless.This book is indeed the finest and most comprehensive book on the subject that I know of. Professor Naaman has pulled together his 25+ years of experience and research in the ferrocement field and come up with a textbook of ferrocement. This book will most likely become the standard textbook for the teaching field when it comes to ferrocement.

This book is not a how-to type of book. There are books that have been written in the past that cover the basics of the how-to part of working with ferrocement. To give you an idea of what is contained in the book I will give you the chapter headings.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Ferrocement
Chapter 2 - Mechanical Properties Of Ferrocement as Observed From Tests
Chapter 3 - Modeling the Response of Ferrocement and Other Brittle Matrix Composites With Continuous Fibers
Chapter 4 - Analysis and Design of Ferrocement in Bending
Chapter 5 - Practical Design Guidelines
Chapter 6 - Construction – Fabrication of Ferrocement
Chapter 7 - Testing for Reinforcement and Composite Properties
Chapter 8 - Cost Estimates of Typical Ferrocement Composites
Chapter 9 - Ferrocement in Housing and Related Applications
Chapter 10 - Advanced Materials and Concepts
Chapter 11 - Prospects for Ferrocement Materials, Applications, and Technology
Professor Naaman has set the standard by which future books on ferrocement will be judged.
