Ferrocement Construction Manual: A Design And Construction Handbook For Everyone: Geodesic Dome Homes Ideas

Ferrocement is a building technique that allows for very flexible forms to be made with concrete. You can make vaults, walls, round tanks or differently-shaped ones, cisterns… For a normal concrete pour, you need some kind of formwork that is difficult to build and awkward to remove later. Ferrocement generally lets you avoid most or all of the formwork, as what is built can support itself even as the concrete is curing. In this book, you will discover the step by step process the author used to create a 16 foot diameter geodesic dome “bunker”. It contains information of building an inexpensive geodesic dome frame from EMT conduit, ferrocement, and latex cement coverings as well as additional information on lighting and other issues. It contains links to additional videos and online dome calculators as well as end-notes for additional information on the content. And so much more! Get your copy today!
