Ferrocement is a construction method, characterized by highly reinforced, composite cement & steel, thin concrete shells. It is not new technology; in fact, Ferrocement & standard reinforced concrete construction were invented & patented in the same country and time period: 19th century France. While reinforced concrete was quickly adapted to building construction, Ferrocement was initially used in boat hull construction.
