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 developing shell structures. Solid shells were produced by incorporating DPF with plain concrete. Light flexible ones were also produced by using a special non-hardening roofing material with DPF.
