Re: [papercreters] Re: Vault building--free PDF for construction

As far as I know, ferrocement is not in any building codes, so it
probably would not make a difference to an inspector unless you could
convince him that it is the same as "normal" reinforced concrete, and
then he would probably want to see an engineer's calculations. Rule of
thumb with code enforcers is that if it isn't in the book, they won't
approve it without an engineer's stamp, shifting liability to the
engineer. Any design that is a deviation from standard practices would
fall under this rule.
