    I've been studying ferrocement, which sounds like what you are describing. I'm part of a ferrocement email list where I'm learning all kinds of different techniques. They even build boats out of cement .
    I warn you, it's a very heavy discussion list with a large volume of emails per day. You can join here: **Please See My Profile** If the email address doesn't show up, pm me and I'll send it over that way.

    It's an amazing process. I'm checking into which type pump system to buy now. I do not plan to build houses with it - I like the solid icf construction I currently use. Unless of course I become convinced it's a better system.

    Good luck

    Are you refering to ICF or to the panels with foam core and shotcrete to both sides?
