I ahve come across a new type of construction method that has been in the research phase for many years now.
Grancrete is a type of spray on cement that can be used with any aggregate and when dry the chemicals create a locking connection that makes it very strong. it applies to any panels so a simple wooden panel sprayed with Grancrete becomes like a very strong panel of concrete.
This is mainly a solution for third world housing problems as it is very cheap and effective for use in remote areas.
Grancrete has many disadvantages for use especially in thrid world and poorer countries.
Its is very strong, ahs a short curing time of about 15-20minutes, clings to any material, does not expand or contract based on environmental changes, burn resistant, will set in cold temperatures, long life span of over 100years, can be aesthtically altered such as painted etc.
It is a very interesting product and could prove to be a great method of building inexpensive homes for poor people of people living in thrid world countries.
