Abstract
The proposed prefabricated ferrocement system uses half-cylindrical ferrocement pontoons for the floating foundation, ferrocement planks for the walls and floors, and corrugated ferrocement sheets for roof covering. The proposed design can be built manually (without heavy machinery) using self-help labor or with hired labor, and the ferrocement house can be dismantled and rebuilt in another site in case a family moves
