About this document
High Performance Ferrocement Dome Design by Samson Raphael is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the construction of a 22-foot diameter dome for a Sikh temple built using high-performance ferrocement. Key details include a 1-inch thick dome shell reinforced with 24 longitudinal stiffening ribs and 6 layers of galvanized wire mesh. Special additives were used to enhance properties like impermeability and long-term strength. Masons received training and plastering was completed in a single operation, with testing showing compressive strength doubling from 28 to 180 days.
