Abstract

The high tensile and compression strength, low thermal conductivity, light weight, resistance to corrosion and abundance of Date Palm Fronds (DPF) were utilized in producing flat and curved roofs. Solid roofs were produced by incorporating DPF with plain concrete. Light flexible roofs were also produced by using a special non-hardening roofing material with DPF.
