Construction

solution
'Fill a mold with the styrofoam/aircrete mixture and rabbit wire, finally cover it with ocpoc fiber cloth and stucco for a hard Mortarless construction block strong enough to survive a ricghter scale 8 earthquake and is fireproof. ' For domed construction use triangular molds with the outer perimeter hardfaced(usual sand/cement) and the inner part filled to the outer(wet) with rabbit wire, styrofoam/aircrete for a tight seemsless fit. For hexagonal shape or any other shape, mill housing type molds(reused hundreds of times) out of HDPE plastic block with Five axis mill, smear with vaceline releasing agent and hardface outer perimeter. The plastic block is injection molded with Preciousplastic.com diy injection machine. Cement mortar solutions of differing strenghts can  be bonded directly while both are still wet. Bonding a dried brick to another is done with a weaker wet morter to prevent this morter's strenght from cracking the structure as both the bricks and morter contract and expand with temperature fluctuations after curing(construction techniques with aircrete). All solid structures contract and expand with temperature.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27v7Oq-q9xs channel Stephen Williams' Use 85% styrofoam/aircrete mixture covered in Ocpoc fiber cloth for strong durable fireproof construction. This is modification of the styrofoam, cement 5:1 mixture idea. Instead of using cement, use an aircrete mixture with the styrofoam. Finish around windows with self adhesive fiberglass drywall joint tape mesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJXcFLSk3kE Shredded styrofoam added to premium aircrete makes for super light -and strong - building material. I used 40 lbs of Portland cement added to 3 gallons of water to make a slurry. This in turn is added to about 18 gallons of high quality foam and after thoroughly mixed, I add as much styrofoam as needed to make 25 gallons. I would venture to guess 2 lbs cured, per gallon and it takes 7.5 gallons per cubic foot. At 6" thick it should weigh about 7.5 lbs per square foot.  How about adding graphene? Graphene is now mass produced.  option1: Three axis mill(Lathe) the shapes out of plastic blocks made via Preciousplastic.com extruder. Porcupine the outside with nails, wrap a grid pattern across it with polypropylene string/chicken coup wire before covering and expanding to desired volume with aircrete/styrofoam(Stephen Williams). Reduce the volume of plastic brick by recycling holes out of it and fill the holes with the aircrete/styrofoam mixture. Finally use a Five axis mill router for final shaping to needed dimension. option2: insert the plastic brick into a fiberglass mould following the brick's outer curvature and then pack the styrofoam/aircrete solution around the brick. Use the Final solution, option1 and 2 are for reference. construction techniques with aircrete the mortor used to bind any dried construction material be it clay bricks, aircrete etc. must be less in strength to prevent cracking of the structure as the binding mortar contracts and expands, overcoming the strength of the bricks. hardface any aircrete block with a two cm traditional sand/cement layer. The sand/cement layered on a urethane rubber mold with aircrete/styrfoam on top for a traditional large but much lighter building brick. Cover with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurea?. Heliostat solar melting sand sintering, into hexagonal shapes and hardface outer edges with cement/sand mixture for tight seemless block(dome).

This Geodesic Dome Connector is very easy to use and allows the construction of a Geodesic Dome without the use of tools and in a minimal amount of time. The video describes the patented locking collar that surrounds the Geodesic Dome Hub, and how this outer collar controls the axial angles of the struts to create a much stronger geodesic dome than other types of Geodesic Dome Connectors. The video also describes how this is the only geodesic dome connector that can handle struts made out of non-standard size struts, such as metal rebar for concrete domes, or geodesic dome struts made from wooden dowels. This geodesic domes connector also works for building domes made from bamboo and other non-standard size struts.

Bricks from plastic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckWqR1JD158 Plastic waste is becoming a scourge of the earth. Lack of recycling has led to massive islands being created in the ocean made of plastic. New eco friendly plastic & sand tiled houses are starting to be a common sight in Africa. Containers, bags, soda holders and all other types of plastic get wrapped around sea life or ingested leading to their demise. A few individuals though have taking it upon themselves to create machines and processes to create something useful from waste plastic. On this episode we'll how to to recycle waste plastic into paving tiles from 6 different sources. Pavement tiles made from plastic waste only benefit everyone and have no downside to them. Whether it's roof tiles or pavements made from plastic waste these processes will remove plastic from the environment.

https://biomason.com  The group of architects, engineers, and horticulturists at BioMason have discovered a way to make structural cement using sand and bacteria.

Replicas of CETA RAM can be built using Use of the material presented in Part Two of this Manual, which includes detailed drawings, instructions and specifications for the artisan manufacture of one or a few units at a time. Therefore, the project is in the public domain, without patents; So much so that in Mexico there is at least one workshop that manufactures and commercializes it on a small scale.
