You are making the mistake of confusing Cement with Comcrete Cement Limestone and Silica Sand, use as binding agent in both Mortar and Concrete but never used alone Mortar A mix of Cement and Sand used for sticking Bricks together, pointing etc Concrete A mix of Cement, Sand and Aggregate used for building Foundations, Slabs, Patios etc Differences If you tried to hold a fence post in place with cement it won’t stay up very long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 There's lots of different options now with everyone working towards a green future. Ashcrete, Papercrete, Fibrous Concrete, Composite Cement. Lot's of R & D going on. I once worked on a project aimed at reducing wet trades during a period of water shortage here in Sydney. Great project. The architect was a Frenchman who designed the interior of the Concorde. Will see if I can dig up a pic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But using the house's construction as a battery is a great idea. Not much fun for a cell phone, brings a new dimension to calling your phone a 'brick'.

Mekong Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 What is the point of a house which can’t be lived in? The Carbon infused concrete cube would need to a solid 3.5 SQM cube not a hollow cuboid construction with 3.5x3.5 M sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Foundations of appropriate solid 3.5 cubie dimensions, lots of them - run a data centre when the jug's not boiling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 If the 3.5 Cubic Meter of Carbonated Concrete is in the foundations how will that act as a faraday cage for phone signals as you mentioned? If it Bricks the Phone then house is made of concrete if it doesn't then foundations, make your mind up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
