A
large pyramid shaped Auditorium |
Ferrocement is a highly impermeable
skin. In the application of
a semicircular dome and a large
Pyramid shaped Auditorium, it
has been used in place of RCC
skin.
For applications like these,
conventional RCC would require
both side shuttering, hardly
any multiple usage, would require
larger mass of concrete and
would be more expensive and
time consuming than Ferrocement.
In case of dome the mortaring
has been done simultaneously
from inside and outside.
In case of pyramid, formwork
in the form of wooden panels
was fixed for 24 hours from
inside and mortaring was done
from outside.
The Pyramid skin was done in
about 2 months.
