RE: Making a Concrete Yurt Base

I was unable to help due to urgent hive-dicking obligations…

One must after all have a sense of priorities.

FYI I read somewhere recently (Vaclav Smil?) that if you add up all the human-made things ever made, concrete constitutes the heaviest category. And that modern concrete, cost-effective as it might be, is neither as strong nor as durable as the concrete of ancient Romans. They made it to last; we make it just good enough.

Sort:  

I dread to think how much water is in that concrete.

I hadn't really given the quality of concrete much thought TBH!

It will hopefully last a few decades at least then.
