Hello all I have read in depth the post her but I still have questions. Has anyone poured or pumped wall forms with papercrete ?If so what recipe was used ?   

60# dry paper, 5# borax, 30# portland cement, 125 gallons water.

  Will a 12" pumped papercrete wall support the weight of a barrel vault roof system poured of light weight concrete ?   

With the right recipe and a bond beam, yes. The compression strength of papercrete is similar to adobe, with the right mix. Remember that the barrel vault will be thrusting out, so compression strength isn't the problem.
