In order to have suitable data on which to base strength and weight calculations, it was decided at this stage to carry out a series of tests on panels
of F/C made up using locally available materials. In this part of the work valuable
assistance was given by the Applied Scientific Research Corporation of Thailand, who
undertook to carry out a research project in cooperation with tho Department of
Fisheries to provide the necessary design information. Results of this project are
provided in Research Project No. 21/14 ferrocement ASRCT Bangkok, 1969.
