Re: [papercreters] Re: PUMPED WALL FORM RECIPE

I don't think the interwall columns would be necessary, depending on your wall thickness of course. Maybe not a bond beam but definitely something with tensile strength tying the walls together. The amount of outward force will be determined by the way your make your vault. Have you considered flying buttresses?

Spaceman I agree with your less labor approach. I have an older model mayco grout pump that I am planning to use to place the papercrete.Until your post I had planned on using this mix: 60 pounds paper 1/2 bag of type "S" slaked lime 1 bag portland apx. 120-140 gallons of water no sand 30-45 day fully cure time then water proof  I have worked with the bond beam and inter wall columns(common practice here ).I believe that a barrel vault with a 10%-15%rise will have more down force/weight than outward force so I was concerned with compression of the poured wall,but by using a concrete bond/tie beam and interwall coloums the papercrete is only used as a wall filler with little or no strenth required.    I was looking for possible using only papercrete poured walls with a tie/bond beam but with no inter wall coloums.   ------------------------------------  Yahoo!
