Prefabricated Concrete Components for Low-Cost Housing Construction: 407Building Design and Construction, Prefabrication.

摘要

The system of construction described in this publication was developed originally in Surinam by Mr. Joseph Coulam under the U.S. technical assistance program and later refined under the Agency for International Development program of technical cooperation with Barbados. Although the publication deals in part with the adaptation of this system to the construction of small movable dwellings known in Barbados as 'Chattel Houses',the system is just as useful in building low-cost,permanently located dwellings. The system provides simplicity,durability,and low-cost,and appears to be adaptable for use in aided self-help programs generally.
