Hi jason, 40 x 60 is a long way to span anythingn, did you mean for
the building to have an open interior? What is used in that region
for say a salon social, escuela, or conasupo building? Are there
Block wall buildings with the trusses made of rebar sized steel and
the corrugated concrete roof panels? Might you adapt that to
papercrete?
