Linda,

 

There are two techniques that you could employ to make ferrocement floors--with waste products integrated--that would yield floors about 3/4 of an inch thick.  You could drive a truck over them.  In fact, that is how many industrial floors in Europe are done these days.  That would sure cut down on the amount of concrete compared to conventional construction.

Subject: [GBlist] interior partitions

if I choose to reduce the use of concrete and instead of a slab on grade use an insulated sand base with flagstones over, then how do I support interior partitions ??? run little grade beams around ??  seems counterproductive and a bit limiting  hmmmm   Linda Lloyd - The Quarries ecoVillage
