[papercreters] Re-Rod or wire in Papercrete ?



Greetings Folks,
If I want to make some papercrete beams that are ten feet long across a shed will they hold up better with a single re-rod in the center or lets say a four by four inch long square tube of welded wire in an eight inch square beam?
I am thinking of the four inch square pattern of welded wire mesh that they use in flat concrete work.
 
Will a papercrete beam work like this?
The beam will just be to keep the walls from spreading from the outward pressure of the roof.
