Abstract
Newer materials like fibreglass, ferrocement and aluminium are coming up as suitable substitutes for wood as this conventional material has started becoming scarce and therefore very costly. As regards service life under critical conditions the new materials show promise, however wood and steel permit greater versatility due to their well-known characteristics and working qualities which are discussed in this paper.
