Abstract
A temporary living shelter made up of Glass fiber reinforced composites, Polyurethane foam and Steel structure with basic features like inexpensiveness, weather proof, ease of assembly and disassembly, thermal insulation, ability to withstand moderate wind velocity, is developed. A prototype shelter of size 10′X10′ is built and installed. The installed shelter could withstand all weather conditions for the last four years. Relatively inexpensive prefabricated non-metallic panels made of Glass fiber reinforced composites and sand witch panels with polyurethane foam have been employed to ensure light weight and thermal insulation. A rigid metallic structure that can sustain moderately high wind velocities has been used. Required tooling and moulds for fabrication of composite panels are developed.
