Research output: Book/ReportOther report

Abstract

Disasters, either natural or manmade, occur worldwide. As a result, countless people are rendered homeless without any protection against the external environment. Different humanitarian organisations (NGO's) try to help these affected people, by sending several disaster relief items. One of these items are temporary shelters. These disaster relief shelters should be extremely lightweight, durable and easy to set up. In the search for more appropriate shelters, several lightweight concepts will be analyzed.
