45 years ago, I built 2 aircrete domes. I used 30" dia weather balloons for the forms (about $20 back then). I built a 1 foot high berm around the perimeter. Placed the balloon inside the berm and added 1 foot of water inside the balloon to keep the bottom flat. I then sprayed 1/2" of foam on the balloon. After the 1/2" foam hardened, I built the foam up to 6". Then I sprayed aircrete on the outside of the foam. After it hardened, I cut in a door and sprayed the inside of the dome with aircrete. After that, I sprayed in and floated the floor. They turned out to be very strong and very well insulated buildings.

As a long-time building inspector, the first 2 solutions that come to mind are: Build under 200sf (states other than CA) and have an engineer calculate it out. FWIW I was an inspector on the "super adobe" CalEarth project in Hesperia, CA and a big fan of alternative methods, especially if they reuse construction waste or reduce materials.

@@foyjamez Thanks! Good info. Much appreciated.

For engineering purposes, wet concrete and wet soil weigh about 65 lb per cubic foot. That figure can be used to calculate the pressure that the poured concrete will exert on a form or what water-saturated soil will exert on a retaining wall. The pressure decreases linearly from the bottom to the top of the pour. Integrate from the bottom to the top of the form profile to calculate the total force on the form.

I've watched a lot of your experiments over the last couple years. So very cool to see the progress.

First look - fantastic. Remembrances to David South, a pioneer in this field.

Saw some in Casa Grande, Az 40 years ago. Mid June , 120 outside, low 70s inside. Difference was concrete inside, roughly 12 to 18 inches spray insulation outside with solar protection. concrete inside gave it thermal mass with insulation keeping it cooler. It hadn't had the doors installed yet. impressive!!

The reinforcement has been a concern even though I am a big fan of the air Crete dome potential without the expense and design limitations of the Monolithic Dome currently used. In Florida I want a shelter that can withstand hurricane force winds, long damp rains, and termites too - this has great potential. Friends in the concrete business shared info on self-repairing concrete adds that are now available making dome homes much more feasible with building code structural integrity! Looking forward to seeing your place unfold- dream big!

Fun to see the progress! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Monolithic Dome .. uses the outside to inside, process to create a professional, proven (and critically)safe and insulated dome.. their custom air forms are far more durable .re: this type... It is not easy to achieve consistent thickness using this method .. and since concrete is really only strong in compression. That is critical to the strength. Be careful people. When they collapse because they are made poorly it is ugly and tragic. Aircrete is very difficult to control the modulus when sprayed or hand applied.. casting/pouring is where it shines

Looking good Harry. Looking forward to the new formula to make aircrete workable. Keep up the hard work.

I hadn't seen one of your videos for a long time, then this popped up. Very interesting! While I was watching several ideas come to mind. One that I thought of was to make a smaller, garden shed, chicken coop, dog house out of light wood, 2x2 or furring strips, and light ply, that was out of plumb, trapezoidal, smaller at the top of the nearly perpendicular side walls, and a small portion, six inches or so, that could be taken off all the way around the bottom. I'm thinking that I could go over it, roof and all, just as you did the dome with tie-vec, stucco wire, hawk and trowel, or shotcrete aircrete, and so on, but if I left one end open (the end that would get the door, or become an open stable type shed), I could then go in, take that bottom six inches off of the shed form, and I should be able to lower it six inches, releasing it from the shell, and drag it out to use over and over. Or even to just pull out flush to the open end, raise back up and make the same shed 2,3,4 . . times longer. I also think that I could put in some windows, chicken doors, etc along the other three walls with a wood frame wired into the metal lathe to trowel right up too, and they could be finished right in place. I also wonder, if they weren't too heavy, and maybe made on a light channel piece of metal (a metal stud on it's side and tied across the door end threshold, maybe a few in the middle, if it could be drug around a bit carefully, without messing it all up? I might have to fix some cracks if the first one doesn't drag well. I'm a mason when I'm not a chicken herder, all my days off come when it's too cold and snowy outside in the Rockies for mortar. I'd like to make these sheds in the shop, then drag them out. Thanks for giving me some new ideas to think on Harry.

Very inspiring progress! I've been watching you since before you built your first backyard dome in NY. It's very inspiring to see how the system has developed. Each time you create a new step, I am excited all over again and begin thinking of how I can use your system on my next build.

Maybe you could finnish the inside with cob to get that cob feeling inside nice and cozy?!

Harry, have you thought about doing the first steps to achieve the initial hard structure, then placing reinforcing materials (bending rebar or a few layers of mesh of some type) followed by covering it with a larger tyvek envelope that is designed to allow whatever thickness you want the dome to be, then pumping in aircrete, trapping it in a layer in between the outer envelope and the initial hard dome you made? (I don't think this would work with normal concrete given its weight, but I think aircrete should work. It would seem to me to be a good way to get your dome shape while avoiding needing to either put repeated layers of shot aircrete or using aircrete bricks. And you have already worked out the process (apparently) of making the tyvek envelope work for you. I really appreciate your persistent experimentation with this! - oops now I see another "part 2" video. Monolithic domes has two neat processes for building domes, but what you have done here is different, to some extent. And using aircrete vs normal shotcrete means the concrete is insulative, removing the need for open or closed cell insulation. By tailoring your forms to have windows and doorways built into them (which I expect you will be experimenting with in the future) it should make it easy to build a multidome connected structure. And your method isn't really limited to dome shapes per se - just to how you can shape the envelope. Keep this great work up! Cheers! JW

Very interesting. This looks much more doable & affordable than the MDI system I was considering.

How do you deal with the 6-8 overlapping layers of wire on the top of the dome? Couldn't you run 2 lengths of wire over the top at 90deg then cut shorter lengths that tie in without going over the top ?

@AircreteHarry

2 жыл бұрын

Your way is the best way to build it . But my way just gives you a lot more reinforcing on the top. Ones everything is done it will have 8 inches of insulation on top and all the wire will be covered anyway.

I love it Harry!.... The forms for the ring beam are fantastic!.... I personally like to put a groove in the top of the ring beam that holds cattle panels and that gives me a straight wall so I can use regular doors and windows without augments... I really like your low pressure airform and the first layer of fiberglass mesh. Maybe there is a way to install the stucco mesh with less work - I can't think of any improvements on your method though... I like basalt rope because it is so easy to work with.... At what point are you turning off your inflator? I saw a "Billy Goat" gasoline powered air blower that looked promising.... I am excited to see what you come up with in regards to the pump, we need something that will pump a sand mix thru a small diameter hose without plugging up.... Keep up the great work!

@AircreteHarry

Thanks Jeff, The stucco mesh is easy to install. in the beginning I had to try a few ways. You will always have an augment no matter how small to keep water from coming into the window or door. After the wire mesh has been covered in cement and cures then I turn off the blower. The pump I'm in development of now will pump sand cement mix.

Looks good guys. Looks like the right way to do the main structure. Of corse you can burry it now with aircrete for maximum insulation. 👍

Fantastic !

Early '80's in Oklahoma city We used a similar methodology to build dome homes. however, we sprayed foam on the interior of the nflated dome form to a thickness of 4" then a tapered shotcrete layered 6" at the base 4" at the peak, inside of that. the shotcrete was a bit troublesome since we were using 9 sack shotcrete with 1.5" steel fibers (no rebar When the shotcrete hit the surface, the steel fibers would form a durable lattice ). This kept the thermal mass on the interior and the insulation on the exterior. for garage attachments we used half cylinder inflatable forms. later in a commune I worked with community members using a more basic method of a rebar skeleton and masonry cement hand troweled in to the lattice. These we buried in to hillsides .

I've always loved Dome Homes, to me this is the best way to do one, that I've seen, when you figure the cost. Wish you were in my area.

I maybe having a workshop in TX. Maybe you want to host one?

I lived on a ferrocement boat for 20 years... type 5 cement. How do you make the tyvek balloon? It looks really good

Yes. A key ingredient is getting that balloon the proper dimensions.

Perfect!!!!!
